Ocean of Mystery, Tidal Memory
A tide turns, mystery of the ocean,
like a chorus. Cyclical moon, mirrored
in the waters, the shadows too dance.
Traverse the liminality of this song
with me, a blessing. Waters of my memory,
rise from the ocean like myths.
Just a reminder that there's no right way to do this. If you write one, please share it with me (subscribers can comment on this post!), share it on our paid subscriber chat, or post it on Instagram. My handle is @K8belew.
Oceans Reunion
The tide means
constant motion,
perpetual mystery,
Mama Gaia & Goddess Moon’s
cyclical symmetrical dance.
Watch light house then
traverse liminality
below depths of
navy tears
spilling salt until
water rises from
sea seasoned.
Ocean, I Love Your Depth
A tide edges closer to the shore.
A mystery in the unfurling waves.
A cyclical dance of tides and moon.
Inevitably the ocean recedes.
A shadow of itself left behind.
Transverse this landscape with wonder and an open heart.
Walking within the liminality of two worlds.
Here there are new beginnings.
A reset; a life in balance.
The vastness of this body of water.
Ocean, I love your depth.
