What do you love about your life? What makes you happy? What brings you joy?
Joy of the Sea
Listen to the rhythm
of ocean’s heartbeat,
awakening my longing
as my lips follow
the shape of shivers.
My soul overflows,
buried deep within
aqua waves -
a whispering hiss
of worries carried
away by sea surges,
strings of pelicans
strung in V’s
single blue crayon line
where ocean meets sky.
Voltage jolts with
breaths of salt air.
wildness unrestrained
as calmness settles
like residue on skin
touched by silver fingers
of the unfathomed sea,
ocean crests protecting
like warm wombs,
stars mobbing sky
in evening blackness,
drops of myself
left in grains of sand,
salted kernels sifting
through my soul.
