The Split

Yesterday we walked together Exploring craggy rock pools Tasting salt in breath Hand in hand Walking bare foot on white sand Ankle deep in pulsing water All was Until we looked at the horizon The line between dry and wet sea and sky The undefinable split split us we fell apart The sea The air The magic undefinable line The holds all could not hold us We landed A shell split on beach The sea washed over us We wrestled mediated prayed That spirit of sea, air, magic bind us It couldn’t Darkness came We ceased to try Accepted fate The sea subsided To reveal a perfect shell
