I am the Sea
by Matt Levesque
In these eyes you will find the deepest waters.
They are equal, for I am the sea, Cancerian.
You say you dislike sand, but an affinity for the sea
calls for acceptance of all it harbours--good and bad.
Do you not find thrill in my fierce waves rushing upon you,
or setting peaceful sail with me on a warm summer day?
In thoughts melancholy, would you not fall with a crash,
and be welcomed only by my cool embrace?
Take me now--water, wind and sand. Enjoy each and all.
With distance, the sandy grains in your pockets will fall away,
and the pleasant ocean smell you've liked so much disappear,
but with hope will you carry always the memory in your dreams.
I have always been here and forever will remain.
The same can be said of my passion for you.
As a valiant crab emerging from life's shore,
you may journey afar, but will you return to the sea?
** With a special dedication to Chris Dore **
