swimming in the sea of your memories
i try to find my voice
echoing still in the conch shells
pieces of me tangled in the seaweed
remembering when you caught me in your net
setting me free
the currents between us – the warm and the cold
all the rainbow hues that colour our story
ancient, real, mysterious
beneath somewhere dangers lurk
sharks that feed off our conflicts
rabid appetites tearing apart
but we grow back-indestructible till the end
we survive like a coral reef – beautiful
we protect the shores of our life

ancient, real, mysterious

rabid appetites tearing apart
but we grow back-indestructible till the end
we survive like a coral reef – beautiful
