Some Sea Calls My Name

Some sea breaks in foam

rushing around virgin shores

made new by every wave

and yet some see nothing

but water and sky

while I see you

which is everything but me

yet including me too

when I stand in your shoes

Some see melted hearts

singing as one throughout the night

sailing from Jupiter to Mars

in the span of one kiss

layered in as many dimensions

as their imagination can dream

but I see you standing

naked in the sunshine

on a tranquil beach midday

your ankles surrounded by foam

that takes your breath away

Some sea calls my name

seducing me to walk on water

like a child is drawn to birth

but I worry how to make those steps

unlike the child following her canal

I misstep because I think

while my former self small

knew the way without worry

and hence I fall through the waves

the mountain in my path does not move

and a mustard seed is too large

to contain my faith
