Heaven

when the sun

settles down

upon the ground

I am found by the bliss

that exists between

the sun-kissed sand

and the sky

Washed Away

I opened my heart

held out my hand

felt something strong

crumble like sand

I watched broken nights

give birth to the chaos of day

in just one breath

all of my trust washed away

Conversations with the Sea

Recently

I watched the sea

grow turbulent again

I held her close

and asked her to

tell me how she has been

The sea replied

"sometimes I feel

like I might overflow"

She didn't need

to share much more

I sighed and said, "I know"
