Waters“
The oceans call to us
Like sirens on the waves
And we listen
Watching
Waiting to return
To those primordial waters
That birthed us
.
Pulling ourselves up, out
To stand upon solid land
Yellow sand
Damp red clay
Dark rich earth
Clover blossoms caught between our toes
As we search for a way back to those pliant shifting waves
.
But children grow up, leave home
You can never go home again
Only make one where you are
There’s no escaping you
Only you
And where you are
Now
