Sea Song

There it was, as broken as I.
More beautiful than ever.
To this I return like clockwork,
when all else fails.
Embrace me with your zephyr always,
during my many travails.
Tell me, will you put me back together?

Shadows around you roam,
begging for things they know not.
I look into you only to forget, what I came looking for. 

The sun and the earth converge with you,
no more is there a duality in nature.
No good nor bad, just you.

Take down my looking glass
and let me fall blindly.
Don't take this revelry away,
lest I feel empty again.

You make me want everyone and no one.
You give me warmth with your gusts of cold.
I don't know if I'm lost or found.
Only you can take me away and bring me back.
Don't make me want and need,
for I fear I won't near what you foresee.

I leave reluctantly,
only to lose all that I found.

Goodbye ol' friend,
my only constant.
I'll return on the morrow. Or maybe not.

Just as I walk away,
reality rears its ugly head,
seeps its tension back into me.
And I long again for your air of salt and mask of ocean.
