I will take you away…
in my ship.
So
be ready…
with your glad rags.
We’ll travel…
shore… by shore…
Stop somewhere
have a pint…
some food…
And then
we’ll laugh…
Run through streets
we don’t even know the names of…
You’ll chase me…
And I—
I will run like a child…
just freed…
from elementary school…
No rules…
no weight…
just breath…
and sky…
You’ll frown at me…
And I’ll come running back…
Straight into you…
Where no worldly rule…
has ever reached.
We’ll rest…
in a quiet boat…
Your head…
on my lap…
My hands…
lost in your hair…
And somewhere above us—
seabirds…
singing songs older than us.
No matter how strong the wind…
No matter how cruel the storm…
No matter how wild the waves become…
We
will face everything…
Together.
Brave.
I will watch your eyes…
while you watch the sea…
And while you row…
I won’t be here anymore…
I’ll be…
diving into you…
Deeper…
and deeper…
And we will sail…
Not to reach somewhere…
But to become something…
Until one day…
Our last breath…
…belongs to the ocean.
