sea

you look out upon the world
eyes bleary from the waves
crashing down in front of you
soft flowing curls lapping at your toes
tired from the day's content
from the obstacles you overcame
expressing joy from all you found
the secrets lying underground
underwater and over air
breathing deep the ocean air
looking out at the sky
horizon bright
seagulls fly
wishing you were nowhere else
but here with her
casting aside tools of war
battling across the ocean floor
waves of waves, armies many
brilliant blue but cautious white
leaning in and sweeping away
tempting you to another day
knees buckle
your breath rushes away
thinking of her
thinking of the moments just past
when your eyes were blurry
from the sea air
or from the water's weight
upon your heart
