Tears

Tears


Makes me think of the ocean,

the salty smell
saturating the air
drowning it;

how I can only walk
alongside of it

because I can't swim.

It's the under-currents
that move the waves;
it's not really the wind
like some people might think.

It takes a lot to swim
against those
under-currents.

I'm better off here
safe on the beach,
watching the waves,
breathing in the salt.
