Wetted Stone
I wish for you to be like a stone just thrown onto the shore
still wet with salt and water
your colors all revealed
not dried by living...not faded by too much exposure
I long for us both
to feel just birthed again
as from the sea
Like the first crawling creatures
brave enough to go
where no creatures had gone before
I wish for you to be wet from foam and froth
salt and sand and sun...your glow illuminated
Your colors and your creativity like blood flow
coursing through everything around you
I wish for you...
I wish
for...you
