Yesterday
My feet were molded by water
They flew against the ground
Like slick rocks hungry for purpose
Amidst an endless sea
Yesterday
The leaves were red and yellow
They patted my cheeks as they cascaded
The wind caught their crevices and tugged down
Designing a waterfall over my head
**Yesterday
There rushed tender currents.
But today
I walk with closed eyes.**
Today
The tide carries pain down my chest
Sews my lids shut with thin thread
It's alright
The leaves will be brown if my eyes open now
Today
The ocean seeps through thin lashes
Rivers drip against sandy skin
I clip the bridges woven onto my eyes and see
A sea embroidered with tumbling mirrors
**Now
I'm drenched free,
soaked with waves of me.**
