the only word that explains
that defines
that moment

splintery planks, squealing and whining
under our souls' weight

salty paradise, rushing beneath us
peeking up through inevitable imperfections:
the cracks and the holes and the space
before saying goodbye, and riding away forever

starry heavens, carrying us up with them
on their search for escape
from the cynical world on which
they are demanded to shine

and eternal sea breeze
flying, so fast
through our hair, our eyelashes, our fingertips, our toes
our hearts

i will never stop loving you
and you will love me
and we will continue to run
as fast and as far as our lives will take us
before our search for an answer
is expended
by our own curiosity and pure desire
and we leave the world, and instead live the word
that which is:
*unstoppable
