azure skies turn golden.
We
      set
      sail on
   our journey
dividing sands
     and dirt amongst our toes,
we count the distance
   we dissect on
         the earth’s floor
              from the places
on our feet’s vantage
and our mind’s playground.
The seagulls find rapture
on the skies’ clearing
       and sunlight,
                they seem to know
         the path to goodness
maybe that’s why they could
      walk on azure water or maybe
  it was just those
          winged sea creatures
        talking to me as I drown
             myself on the deep end.
I can still feel the sea shells
clipping their mouth
on the fibers of my shirt,
whispering—hello’s.
I find the dancing
plankton and jellyfishes
the most rendering of all —
like the small little faeries
        on the ominous light of
                dungeon eeriness
—of stalled silence.
Why do we float on water
when we harbor
           much burden on our minds?
Shouldn’t that
            suffice the mystery
of gravity—
why am I
    still
                 drowning?
I do miss
the seas
on days
like
this
one.
