Tides

We're in the ocean of love,

voyaging across horizons,

of forever, blindfolded

of the violent tides around us.

But when the earth 

shakes too hard to jiggle us,

we will hold on very tight,

gripping on to the waters.

We hope to discover gravity,

the moon, and the sun 

behind these tides,

and be in silent conversations

with them.

When the cold currents

race against our battleship,

we will wage war against them,

sailing deep into the warzone,

with compassion and commitment.

When everything seems 

to have fallen apart,

we will swim in this love together,

fighting against the waves,

And when we're tired,

we will come at truce 

with the tides, 

and convince them to carry us 

towards the shore,

Ebbing us away 

from the violent storms,

to an island we've always known,

an island of solace,

an island full of love.
