The border between sea and sky
blends inseparably in shades
of gray and powder blue
subtle hints of pallid green
like brush strokes of a painting
frozen in time within its frame
the salty air gellid as it fills
our elastic lungs and silences
our sanguine tongues
its frigid fingers finding
their way through the woven
fibers of every layer we wear
our bodies benumbed by
the brumal spell we\'re under
awakening within an ardent awe
and unwonted wonder
