journey

journey with me won’t you

come to the edge of the water

out past the cliff, down by the

shore

won’t you explore with me

like a spelunker a cave, the

journeyers the wave

each one piling on the other

begging to be known

with the body,

all of it, wet and wild,

deliciously cold and

slippery with seaweed

dangling from our toes.

You know there is harmony

in rhythm. You know there

is cosmic sequence in their

order, wave after wave.

You know you will rise and fall

with each breath it takes, the sea

so mysterious in its darkness out beyond

the horizon. Come, see. Come, see

for yourself. Come, sea.
