On this ocean I float
And I melodize my song
Sing along if you join my tide
When we croon
Together morning ‘till noon
We sleep better at night

Hearts stay in tune
Over distances in spite
Of waves rippling through our lives
Some great, able to separate
But third eye ablaze
You're always in sight

I too have feared the undertows
But even if you’re caught below
Don’t inhale the salt
And to the surface you’ll float

When I’m alone
I whistle with the winds
The melody that healed my wounds
And if the waters splash
I don’t kick and thrash
The brine can’t burn my flesh

An anthem sublime
Rains from the sky
Returned to the ocean by the clouds
Every drop resonates
The horizon vibrates
From the pounding of our tribe

Turn your head around
Don’t stare at the depths below
Your breath you’ll find comes from
The direction of the Sun

towering and sheltering
shading and nourishing
a blossoming innocence
of suckled sweetness

draped in wand pods
sowing magical seeds
sprouting sapling bridges
between hoping and knowing

fluttering metamorphosis
butterflies of the night
seeking the light of home
dimmed within memory

though storms may wail
these roots run deep
though lightening strikes
these wings have spread

end
Since there is no escape for me in the end
Since my body will become so utterly devoured
By the fire and the dirt and the earth
With the memories that torment my fragile mind
And jeopardise my every breath
That bury themselves to the depths of my very being
And shred and slice and stab at my very existence
Let me go free, as waves to the shore
In credibility, allow me to sing my last breath
In the short hours of light left, let me lift my weighted head
And blink in the vastness of my impending eternity
The inevitability of the dark abyss
That shall consume my helpless self,
As if I never was.
