Ocean Seed
I feel as though flotsam
Run ragged on the ocean
I have travelled far in search
Of something deep and buried
They speak of sirens ache
Upon the shore so lulling
I tip into the waves and sigh
A torn white sail around my heart
Was once airborn and waving
Now a shroud of longing
What does it mean to be sworn to sea
A promise of names sake written
In ink in the lines of my skin
Wrinkles wink at the past as I float
A maiden of sand that is slipping
Can I breathe
