The Sea's Song

The water is shifting
in such vague brilliance.
swinging and slipping over it's own body
in strides for shores far.
the shifting unknown of the surface below
makes me nervous and
unwilling to trust it's heart
with mine.
impossible to tell what it's hiding,
undesired secrets forced upon it by time.
Sailors love the fear they keep of it,
longing always to be close,
to be a part of it.
Wild in nature
and loyal by the moon a stars
I want to lose myself
and be swept away into it's arms.
Held by the chill depths
to fall asleep with the sailors
who've gone before me.
Their memories filling my own.
Their loves now lost
to such a cruel ocean mistress.
It is their song being sung by the wind
crying lighting storms
of deep sorrow for souls lost.
I just want to harmonize with their anthem.
And add my lyrics to the chorus.
