I am a teardrop in the ocean
a diamond shaped salt
dissolved
by the movement of waves
fierce and strong
and i’m flowing under the surface
beneath little curls
of ocean swirls
those fierce currents
invisible like a myth
from faraway naked eyes
and when the thunder growls
you sail through the storm
where the ocean sings
with another land’s song
then we sing in fear
like the mermaids’ symphony
behind the coral reefs
deep and hidden from the stars
I’m flowing in the ocean
and you sail away again
upon the teardrops of the ocean
oh dear, can we survive this night?
from this denouement
from the wrecking distance between us
that is louder than the storm
