ocean.

It is easy for the ocean to speak

but we never really listen

she yearns for us

to skim her surface with our fingertips

but she will continue being who she is

 

She needs us. We know this.

 

When she roars at night,

And whispers at dawn,

“Would you love me? I made it easy.“

 

When her waves, like tendrils, reach the shore,

her thoughts untangle

on the other side of the Earth

where it is bare

And the sand is soft and sinking

with the moon

 

It is easy for us to sink,

 

to bond to the Earth

without entanglement

but despite the knowing

of who we are to love,

she ends up leaving

but thinking of you
