Echoes Across the Somber Sea

Two artists separated

By an ocean of

Lived circumstances,

A somber sea that

Carries them both

To different shores,

Yet, there explore

The weight of the world

That constantly crushes

Its survivors

Upon the bones

Of the

Perished.

Their lives

Separate

Until that moment

Of divine discovery

Where one’s poetry sings

In the other’s ears,

Calling out all their fears—

Their tears through the years—

Seen.

The savage truth

Laid bare—

Understood—

The siren song

Sung,

Not by a siren,

But by one

Who survived her call,

Who scaled death’s wall

And cracked the bell

From whence hell tolls.

Two artists

Together

Without ever

Crossing hearts.

Each

Contributing their part

Of cathartic

Healing

Art.
