Swimming With Ava~

Sinking pearls of stone, in an obligatory skip before the plunge Haloing the horizon in silver riddles and the earth is still. No tides to bite the green watered breath. No new moons eclipsed by the earth's turn to greatness. And we laugh. Laugh in salty brine and cosmos air. Following the stone's tunnels in a dive into the blue. Capturing smoothness of hair and palms. Breaking the evening ocean floor in rhythm as we catapult to surface calm. Silver tipped fish wings scatter in water rings. Algae backed hermit crabs skitter on crackling legs. And we are the epitome of glee tonight with a fist full of ocean and two thirds of a wish never ending.
