I feel their tears here...

I live on both dry land and wet sea
A predator better not eat me
yellow banded
upper handed
I’m a poison-dart frog, deadly you see....

Prickly but healthy
         A sticky situation
Healing from dry land
         Pricking nerve cells and sugar
Nopales sticking around...

    on storms at sea, mankind is tossed

  If dawns the morn, o'er dry land
    man has a chance ~ to try again...

Build an Ark stay on dry land 
people stared and squawked 
some came and laughed 
Until flood sailed it like a can...

Struggling to breathe
On dry land
Butterflies in my stomach
Yet I don't remember eating caterpillars
A cold sweat 
Runs down my back
Everything is okay…
Right?...

the stiff clouds 
still 
wringing their hands, but
hearing your sweet voice,
through
the motherland
where
the 
colorful seagulls
flap their long wings
over dry land...

I'm a pirate who sways on dry land
Arrr! Now from The Ship Inn I was banned
A great plan I would hatch
Returned wearing eye patch
Beer guzzling evening back on as planned...

After the oceans salty sands
I dive into the deep blue
T shirt, and let it flow over me
Jump into my shorts
Wade into my shoes
and leave the shore
For dry land

The sea,
It raged,
It raged,
It raged,
As it pummelled
The lonely shore,
As if to say;
Dare to enter,
Dare to enter,
Dare to enter,
And you’ll see dry land -
No more …...

Replenishing the dry land
And helping to fill the lakes and streams
In the mouth of thirsty animals it goes
Never ending cycle of water...

Round Sun drown down
Motionless ocean rests
Island dry land
Starlight bright night
Blue moon soon gloom...

empty wooden rice bowl
scattered
upon
the 
dry land 
find their hungry feet
and
hungry hands
shall
gather
at
night
where
the 
fish breathe air
eat their food
with 
paper chopsticks...

Row, row, row your boat
Dry land near, it seems
Steadily steadily steadily
Life is but a scheme

Row, row, row your boat
Let's escape this confusion
Verily verily verily verily
Life is but an illusion....

I once knew a compassionate man
who couldn't survive on dry land

    he was sensitive and kind 
  helped me find peace of mind

with him a spiritual quest began

Not having much
A helpful hand
Keeps the poor 
On dry land

Having it all
To the rich it's free
Given boats
To sail the sea

Left to drowned
The middle class
Creating the survivors
That will outlast...

The ocean flows in my blood
so many years since the sea
I’m standing tall on dry land
dealing with stress when it comes

Life and love are mysteries
nothing here last forever
I’ll be sailing this strong sea 
which I call the sea of life...

Wet grass licks at my feet
Green tongues of flame
I wish for the earth to envelop me
Sinking, without a sound
Drowning on dry land
Every clod of beetle-dark soil a silent goodbye 
To what I’m not sure ever existed
Reborn into root and rain...

Socialites and the elites’ absence, they pledge
Low life exhibition will always emerge
Adults basking in the lowest stratum’s edge
Zero tolerance for the toppers to dredge
Yeah, dry land has nothing to do with a sledge...

Beyond the breakers
I look back to see the green
   and blue of my home.

   Beyond the breakers
the thrill rises as I count
   to the next big one.

   Beyond the breakers
I am poised and ready to
   ride the wind and sea.

     Back to dry land....

The cusp of brilliance
  can still be controlled

While genius can neither 
  be coaxed nor cajoled

Being still on the fringe
  keeps one foot on dry land

But when totally immersed
  —only God can command
