“Breathe”
Cool relief washes,
chest rises, falls like the tide.
Ocean in your lungs.

Cool relief washes,
chest rises, falls like the tide.
Ocean in your lungs.
Steve D
Undercurrent bass,
low roars and rattling sighs,
a layered chorus.
Steve D
Serene horizon
disguising tides in tumult,
like shards of sapphire.
Steve D
Like a speck of foam
bobbing between salty swells
to land somewhere new.
Steve D
Stresses numbed in waves,
falling away like sand grains,
washed out on the tide.
Steve D
Waves charge like armies,
Swarming over rocks – hold fast!
A cyclical siege.
Steve D
Though a single wave
Pushes and pulls those around,
Altering currents
Steve D
Is a wave mere dust
A speck of foam in the tide
Rolling ever on?
Steve D
I long for her sway
Enveloped in her eddy
Floating aimlessly
Steve D
