Rare

We,
We are alone, together.
Yes, you.
Floating,
Bobbing like buoys.
It's strange,
That I am not alone
In this ocean.
Bubbling to the surface.
We,
Now together,
Looking out to the mist
Smelling harsh salt and cold.
Like ice, hail, slicing our senses
But the rain skips creamy stones 
Over our tongues.
Fighting to breathe
In the cold, wintery 
sea.
White waves
Crashing on to the sand, snow
That only you can see
From this floating, makeshift island.
Go,
To the land. 
And let me drown,
Back to the depths
Of a solitary 
existence.
Wind shaking your 
Bones,
But water encases 
the.
And dose more than chill
Me.
You,
Still on the floating dock,
Wondering,
where 
the 
light house 
Is.
