Sparrow and SeaA Poem by EmeraldFacet
In a kingdom of solitude
Beneath a deep and quiet sea You cast a pebble into the water It's final destination a mystery Hit me on the head one day By the winds of change and chance A sailor? No, a desert boy? I could not decipher from a quick glance So I Swam up to the surface to see who tossed the pebble below To my surprise neither a sailor or desert boy Instead a wild & free sparrow A peculiar brown feathered stranger with a familiar five letter name The unrest of the ocean on the verge of danger Much like his names sake, was able to effortlessly tame Who could have ever seen this coming No one at all, including I or you The only reflection that is calming Both sky and sea share the same color blue Can love flourish between fish and fowl Doubtful by the crowds where could it possibly thrive? they howl Beneath the ocean or above the clouds? Your lungs will fill with water When I try to hold your hand To taste the sweet nectar of your lips Means I will shrivel up on dry land You'll surely chase another gust of wind When it will once again blow your way I will wholeheartedly rejoice for your win But in dark waters I will not stay As fortune would have it It did gift me a single kiss In your absence I can't help but wonder If you'll want to remember me to even miss Please keep this love like the ocean it is as deep as deep can be The armor of my heart unfolding Your heart defining me Have you seen anything so mesmerizing As the fury of the sea In the chaos there was beauty Even if just for a fleeting moment for me © 2021 EmeraldFacet |
