Humble
I tumble
through a silver lining
eyes peeking out of a blinding
light travels fast
further yet to meet at last
between two sides
of the same mind
bodies lying on many tides
dancing over water to unwind
Today
I heard myself mumble
"I'm waiting for the moon to drop down
crush these stones, flush my sight and make me drown"
then
flesh turns soft pink into shades of light blue
like sunrise
becoming the sea's painted sky, wide and true
I realize
I became one with the tide
birds flying in my sight
I'm their reservoir
everyday they will tell me au revoir
and I'll tenderly embrace
oceans weary face
and make it mine
make it mine

"I'm waiting for the moon to drop down

I realize
I became one with the tide
birds flying in my sight
I'm their reservoir
everyday they will tell me au revoir
and I'll tenderly embrace
oceans weary face
and make it mine
make it mine
