Tired Ocean




No ocean at her feet
Or waves that caress
Just birds from her eyes
That seek greener lands
Where roots and branches
Gently collide.

The purr of a cat
The roar of a lion
Swords of morning are drawn
In the shade of tomorrows
With nimble words that fade
Like whispers under a quilt.

Hesitant but sure of tomorrows,
Deaf to all but blind to some,
Lost in her music,
I begin to sing.
