I heard you carry ships
on your way to the sand
I heard you carry souls
who hope to escape land
I heard your body curls
under the pressure of your spine
trapping the air in a swirl
till you break in a line
I heard you come and go
with the moon by your side
I heard your best angles
are with the sun as your bride
I heard you carry tranquility
with the music in your sigh
And if I listen closely
I think I can hear you cry
