In trying to understand and get to know more about another.. |
As if I’d ever see it coming As if you’d even see it at all It came through fast and turned so deep A deepness that could reach 1000 feet under Below the water on softer sand I wondered if I could hold it I wondered if I could take it with me I tried to take it into my hands But the minuscule pebbles fell back to ground And all that remained Was one tiny sparkle from a pebble that glistened Brighter than the sun Beating down onto these pale blue-green waters I’m burning for air As I’m rising to the surface I hear a distant hum It’s banging in my head It’s telling me to leave This ocean is not my home. It’s far too deep and travels long Long beyond the depths of time But I beg to learn it.. I beg to see it shine And I rise so high Breathing deep And as the warm dry air approaches I can feel its suffocation Like daggers to my throat And I want nothing more than to dive back in And soak up more of the glistening pebbles that lurk below And the cool water against my body And as it wraps itself around me I could feel its every pull And the harder it pulls The faster I could feel the push And I think I may be leaving this island of mine So very bruised and battered today But never will it break me For it never takes me in too deep Without pushing me back to surface all too quickly But it hit me I left looking completely untouched It pushed me out faster than I’d ever felt before And back to shallow water is where I lay Reminiscing on fleeting moments that plague my mind Burning to figure out the reasons why So here I lie on the cool wet sand As waves wash over my face And send chills down my spine With a sparkle that’s followed and flowed With every tug and every push A sparkle that came from a pebble I may never find again And as it glistens so bright in the shining sun I could have sworn For a second's time I could have sworn I saw the whole ocean Within that one tiny sparkle (Edited) |
