Safe Harbor






You said, "Look at the
Moon."
I said, "The sky shakes me,
I long for stillness."

You said, "Shhh, mental case.
Kiss me."
I did, and felt the tides.

Pretty sea wives linger, watching.
I cannot.
I am always drowning.

I have soft starfish hands.
You are anemone,
Not poison, but
Life and
Safe harbor.

  3. It always amazes me how opposites attract - maybe one brings something the other lacks and vice versa.

    Lovely 55, Shay!

  7. And in the end, perhaps that safe harbor washes away the initial agitation. Such a well done and emotional 55, Shay.

  11. We all need a safe harbor, but one is not always available when we feel the most vulnerable.

    Cheers,
