Ian Petch Poet I do not know?

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
