Of Wind & Sea

Just out of sight

Like if I could only turn my head quicker

I would catch a glimpse of the wild sea creatures

Throwing themselves at the rocks

Desperately flinging their bodies

As if the road & my car are their end goal

To surround us with their surging cold wetness

Maybe

They will embrace us

Gently enfolding us

But then

Pull us back with them

To join their dance

The eternal cycle

Of bobbing & blending

In the river

The ocean

But oh

OH when that wind comes

The wind that stirs and swirls

Pounds and pushes

The dance begins once more

And the rocks are holding back

But barely

& they are coming

The chill racing down my spine

Tells me just as sure as my eyes could
