Rescued Heart

Transient motion,
this living and breathing and battling the wind
Cork popping ocean,
on bottles with SOS signals within
Riding in waves,
pushing and pulling of swirling black currents
Eternity scathed,
overhead, out of reach, feeling unworthy
Lifeboat arrives,
shoulders reach down to your salt curing skin
You are alive,
those rescuing you see the shape you are in
Enclave emotion,
singing to sleep in the warmth of four walls
Heart beat in motion, 
always in tune to the next time it falls.
