Sand or Sea?


When the world is 
holding its breath 

And the moonlit rivers 
freeze and reflect, 

Who do you
see standing next to you? 

Are you lonesome, my dear, 
in an ocean of lovers?

Or are you basking 
in your happiness without me?

I’m a siren calling you on the breeze.
A seductress wading in the sea

whispering nonsense to draw you back in my ocean.
You try to evolve beyond my backward motions.

Are you happy, my dear, on that beach you call home? 
Or are you aching to drown and come back to me? 

I know you regret moving by the sea
because it’s a constant reminder of me.

Set yourself free.
Submerge with me.

Forget the sand in your sheets
And come make waves with me.

On the sand,
we will wade in together.

Hand in hand;
because you left the moon

And I set you free
From that wife and life 

You chose to spite me.
Oh yes, I’ll set you free.

You’re with me
—Indefinitely.
