ocean
Over the years you have been hunted
by the men who threw harpoons
And in the long run he will kill you
just to feed the pets we raise,
put the flowers in your vase
and make the lipstick for your face.
Over the years you swam the ocean
Following feelings of your own
Now you are washed up on the shoreline
I can see your body lie
It’s a shame you have to die
to put the shadow on our eye
Maybe we’ll go
Maybe we’ll disappear
It’s not that we don’t know
It’s just that we don’t want to care.
Under the bridges
Over the foam
Wind on the water
Carry me home.
Graham Nash, David Crosby
Awakening
I felt the cold wind
And heard the rustle of fall leaves
Through my open window
Reminiscing
About the smell and taste of salt in the air
And the sound of gently crashing waves
On a white sandy beach
Anticipating
The next time I can feel the warmth
And swim away into
Caribbean Blue
