Above I float
I should build a boat
for those trecherous journeys
across the water
I am grateful for the lifeline you throw
(continuously lost to the undertow.)
I do grab hold, you know....
but still, appreciative words I mew to you
don't quite surpass the line you threw
I can't congratulate you
for being the person you are
loving beyond the bar
and catching me a star
~I am your star~
but you live through me
and I can't even grasp....
how to begin these tasks
when I am lost in the water
(though now I'm above....)
My dreams were mermaid travels
for years I could breathe underneath
big gulping lungs full
tail spread speeding through
cavernous chambers filled with all wonderful things
(I saw some in you)
But I understand something more on my journey
that I can breathe here, indiginous to such environments
but the loves who travel with me
run out of air in their tanks
adaptation simply not enough to fill the ranks
of fishes and wishes and deep sea driven stitches
in the sides of my heart and right through the middle
netting tangled like my ocean washed hair
And you are still there
and I wonder if you have evolved
evolution has love right there, backwards
and perhaps I only saw it in the beginning and stuck you into that
but still you are breathing,
though I would venture to say it isn't hopeful
lost as I am to my depth
gratefulness doesn't begin to touch regret
you are a surface creature
a beautiful certain perfect preacher
breathing here amoungst this teacher
This life with love.
I am always back to this
always fogging up with mist
such different species meeting
and eclipsing frustrations
with hope defeating
the edges of my dream
this is beautiful in a way
though not day to day
night to night can't change what's right.
so much more than I can say......
