Shimmering Light

I’m flirting with my sky It’s light so must be true It’s the ocean that denies It’s the sky that gets me through I see the depths that go so high But why are they so blue? This question starts to sigh I ask what it is for you As the night draws close to me I pull myself away I sleep and it comes for me Why is it here that I must stay? I awake to this My sky now looks so grey I look down and see it The ocean knows the way My depths now know their bounds My mind begins to flow Within this current I have found There’s nothing I can’t know The waves begin to breathe I am now so near My soul is now unsheathed The ocean’s breath is here It’s here I part from days Time is insincere The sky is just a maze The water is so clear I see it passing by Never knowing why It’s there that you all fly I’ll see you when you die
