#Seafoam gathers
only to vanish.
Voices do the same.
She stood on the deck,
eyes on the shifting white
while her fingers moved faster than the tide.
“Protect the ocean.”
Some words save.
Some dissolve.
Some come back as something else.

Four countries
Two continents
One month
...my life writes itself in numbers
But I don't count breaths anymore. At least not the ones that burst like left behind #seafoam the ocean didn't want home.
It doesn't translate to 'I'm content'
Neither 'I'm healed'
Nor grandiose, 'I'm a beautifully scattered kaleidoscope of light'
Searching for peace
I only count footsteps
try to hear the silence in me
I'm not bereft of hope
even if jaded of dreams
Not bitter of life
even if guarded in trust
I won't climb your walls
beg access to your world
even when you beat in my pulse
even if you feel like home
Left behind by the sea, bubbles offer trapped air to the sky... and I too will stay by you, like the sky stays by the ocean, even if the tide only dances for the moon.
The weight of the past
Carved in Ataraxia, turned to gold
Quiet #investiture remains
Shadows found their place
Inspired years of silent toil
Bloom in late autumn
No longer the weight
But the anchor in the deep
Steady, whole, and true

Love say to me..
The world shall be reborn
That God never scorns us
Thru a kiss, the autumn leaves
Will not touch the floor
It will float, like myself—weightless
Forever conformed
Let me be inaugurated
The investiture, that will not rip from myself my own pious heart
#vss365
The worth of myself
wrapped in your warm blankets
In the soft arms of love
I waited & you came, not in
the flesh, but
in the ferocity of the waves, like seafoam
That blamed me of my absence
The heart never left—would not
let time fade, wanting the fire in your eyes
#Seafoam gathers

Voices do the same.
She stood on the deck,
eyes on the shifting white
while her fingers moved faster than the tide.

Some dissolve.
Some come back as something else.

Darkness be giggling & chattering
Tis’ time for the New Moons
#Investiture
The Milky Way be extra bright tonight
Holding place for her ceremony
Moons cosmic harem
Is alight with golden stars
Shyly shimmering in delight
There are no sign posts
To #Addiction,
Rather glossy posters
Promising merry go rounds.
Do not choose that trip
For at its end
There is no happy ending
Just turbulent waves
Excessive, persistent pummelling
Breaking down hope
Turning Life into #seafoam
Ucan stop

Soothing winds flow
around pine trees
Dying flowers let go
petals of words falling
to fill the folds
of her dress
From silent smiles
to frothy thoughts
his voice in her head
dwindles
into feeble trickles
of #seafoam…
nothing left

Discarded like trash, and wrapped in seafoam coffins. The ocean, and by extension, nature, treats its dead without the reverence or dignity humankind has evolved to expect. Instead, when we die she breaks us down, recycles us, and feeds our bodies to the living. #vss365#seafoam
