Ocean Tongues
Dive towards the silent deep
Sink and find the chill
More solid than earth
I can feel my own vibrations
Chained to the rocks, singed and raw,
The sand was in my eyes
Mourning my loss, counting the cost
I never dared to swim
Meet the tide
Crashing sigh
Wash me down
Soaked in sound
I can forget
As you forget
Currents asked questions of me
I followed, left the shore
The gulf stream pulled, with echoed heat
I rode and then was still
Another voice for the silent choir
Water filled my lungs
Another verse for the silent hymn
Sung in ocean tongues
Memory drowns
