journeying

you are so beautiful
I wish my shell would wash up to shore
so I could press against your skin
and have you listen

I wish I could be like the ocean
inspiration
peace
passion
infinity
for you to sip from and feel alive
to make you see your beauty
to breathe it down your neck

I wish we could be
pippi longstocking
boxcar children
tom sawyer and mary-anne
that we'd be all tied up with string
unity only adding to our buoyancy
drinking coconut milk catching fish picking berries
making healing teas from roots
and dreaming in a house of bamboo and orchids

moisture dews on the oyster shell
slicing you with its rainbow sharpness
and you are so beautiful
with your wounds turning into
pearly streams of scars
with the sounds from your music box heart
i don't know if you know that you're just my kind of tune
or if you belong on that island
but thanks for holding me in your hand
listening to my shell
helping me on my quest to the boxcar
and being a springtime sweet ache sparkling thread
in the tapestry of my life
