The Sea Churns

Katie B.

Like a tidal wave, it took him down

Rushing waters pummel me to the shore

The sea churns

 

Salty water absorbs little pain

Inexplicable

Cataclysmic

The water laps at his bony ankles

Settles at my wavering hips

 

It drove him to distant seas, foreboding lands

To corners of the earth I cannot access

Like living without bones

Like brokenness we carry on our knees

 

Years eclipse us

The sea still churns

Hope lies in the vastness of the sea

    Indeed so true Katie hope lies in the vastness of the sea. A phrase with deep meaning as deep as the sea itself. All things from space itself to our very population depends on vastness and so it is in both directions outward and inward. A lovely write and a fave
