Like The Tides.

July 14, 2016 by Emily Dill 2 Comments

And you are, like the ocean,
So beautiful by day

The sun beats down on your waves
That encourage me to play

A bird calls lazily above us
As we stretch, warm and alive

And nothing matters except salt water
And the base instinct to survive

But survival takes a new meaning
When the sun trades places with the moon

And you try to swallow me whole
As I race across your dune

The wildness of the sea
Is in your scream, your hair, your eyes

So I hold my breath as I go under
And pray for the sun to rise
