Trade Winds

Trade Winds

A Poem by Zakari Schmidt
"

When I am submerged

"
Waves came crashing down
on top of moonlit shores,
each of them were stars
above aphotic floors
Never standing still,
always going away
I hold on to one
but it does not remain

Currents look like contrails
scattered through the sky,
moving to this destination
in my mind
Somewhere distant from
sedimentary faith
When I am submerged
you become everything

There is a seashell
that I can not forget,
buried on a beach
within my loneliness
Someone else is sand
and fills up every choice
Each grain understands
that I can hear your voice
sound like the ocean

This was quite amazing! I've enjoyed the great dose of endearment in each line. Bravo! :)
