Ocean's Tide



We stand in sand
and sink below,
the tide that's running to and fro.
How is it that the sea does know,
just how far up it may go?

You are so talented, Colleen,

To feel the ocean grab hold of you,
To draw you far from life's mundane;
Your soul released to sail the blue,
To see like a child, again.

To lift the backdrop of clutter,
Illusions of necessity;
To lift your arms, to let your wings flutter;
To be caressed by the ocean's raw beauty.

To be at the edge of the world...
To be at the edge of the world
I envy you,
Young woman named girl.
