Wash Away

To stand in the tide,
The place where the earth and sea collide
To remember who we are,
chin up, eyes on the stars.
 the salty waves
cold playful game,
threatens to wash me away.

Bare toes, grey foam
some sandy

warm 

footprints

don't fit with mine.

The ones that were here,
before..
stood here

with their questions.
and  empty longing


But
I am
so full to bursting, flowing
rushing out
into the sea
burning with desires
like the Sun.

Unlike them
I will

never

wash way.
