Sea and Sky 

You’re the sea and I’m just a seagull 

You push and pull

And I’m wishing I’m the moon

But I’m a dead man in your waves and you’re all I crave. 

I can’t sink in your depths 

Floating on the top, only taking shallow breaths

No one will ever see what is in the deepest part of you. 

Everything collapses underneath all that pressure. 

There are animals that can withstand all that weight. The beauty is unbeknownst to most. 

Beauty I long to see

I know it’s there 

I just don’t know where

You crush my fragile body underneath all that pressure 

So now I’m just a dead man floating in your waves 

And still 

You’re all I crave.

For I am just a seagull 

Making too much noise 

Annoying and destructive 

Yet still

Important to your ecosystem 

Let me dive

For without you I would not thrive

Above you I cry and cry

Yet

Your gentle lapping of waves drown me out 

And still you’re all I crave

We are worlds away 

You are sea and I am sky

We meet but we do not collide 

Only coexist 

Gentle zephyrs and roaring winds 

Seething seas and crests of waves

We are strong powerful elements 

Yet 

Your embrace is all I crave 

Each and every day

You leave me in such disarray 

You are my grave

For I am a dead man, a seagull, the wind

And you. The Ocean 

let me drown in your depths 

For I. Am your dead man.
