\nis agitated today
\ndusted with tiny wild
\nwhitecaps
\nrushing headlong
\nat the ragged shore.<\/p>\n
\nsurrounded
\nby your own kind.<\/p>\n
\nno matter what color
\nyou may offer:<\/p>\n
\na brilliant turquoise,
\ntoday
\na crush of silvered blue.<\/p>\n
\nin you
\nwhen you cough yourself up,
\ndrag along the endless sand.<\/p>\n
\nin an ocean of many oceans.<\/p>\n
\nyou can hope for,
\nthe best you can do.<\/p>\n
