To the Sea (Free verse) by timfowler
Elemental: judge me unwise,
I hope for the breaking
of tides deeper and unblessed
from the salt-crust lips, stinging
at the kiss of the waves.
Faithless: call me believer
for in the swell I find currents,
emotions, untested by light
filtered, the palest green ghosts
haunting the narrow shore.
Swimmer: sense the sand-bar
falling from reach to reach,
grains tumbling, fingers failing
to clutch the precious seconds
of wave crests' passing bliss.
