The Sky and Us

I love the waves I love the sun diving in their womb I love its reflection glistening in crests and troughs I love the firmament painted in hues no hand can ever match I love how they come to me how they weep with me laugh with me and listen to me. And I, them. Today I am naked under this sky And amidst these waves There is something so beautiful About this vulnerability Touching that of hundreds before me And that of hundreds who are to arrive— Those who saw and will see this sky In hues I can never imagine; Those who listened and will listen To trebles out of my ear. There is something so beautiful About how despite our skies never meeting We meet here today Bathing ourselves away in these waves Under this sky Naked And unfiltered.
