in correspondence to my brother's site, i would like to reply with a little something of my own.
treasure of the sea
in between breaths,
weaved among strokes,
my eyes soak up the tears that want to find
its home in the water.
restless storm may sabotage me,
strong winds could deviate me,
but i can always find my ground
if calm ripples embrace all around me.
dark nights haunted me,
you rescued me.
ruthless waves drowned me,
you saved me.
some way or another, i'm happy once all over again
and again, you've revived me.
madness possessed me,
you destroyed the nemesis.
hopes abandoned me,
you created more.
and with your presence i've surmounted
many an obstacle, too many a hurdle.
the day of departure, this i dread,
knowing i will have to seek new waters
and leave the acquainted behind.
how frigid the temperature,
how cruel the environment!
in this unaccustomed area,
will i still be able to manage a smile?
do i have the strength to swim on my own?
will happiness leave me once more?
ah, i am wrong yet again--
for still waters i leave, i find:
all waters are united,
two as one.
