From one sea

I’m called to water 

                         like a magnet,

                                                     trying to find its partner force. 

‍

The breeze gets warm

                             and fierce, 

  salt tinges the smell of the air,

                                                               wind pulls me to the shore.

I remember the feeling; 

                       floating in the salty sea,

warm waters washing over me, 

                cold rain

                sprinkles from above. 

I lay–––drifting. 

Raindrops run

                        down 

                             the contour of my                body 

                                                                      into the sea

                                                                                    beneath me.

I’m carried

                                          by the

                                 ebb        and       flow

Wherever I am, 

                          I know the distance of the sea connects me, 

                                 The tide is my  invisible guide, 

                                                                          reaching for the ––––––––h  o  r  i   z  o  n.

‍

                                                    From one sea 


                                                        I belong. I belong.
