To The Sea Poem by Maya Hanson

Until the water calls me
I stay human, with a human memory
I can recall everything about
standing there at high tide, waiting
Watch me as I sing to the sea

Even when I'm here
my shadow is outside the window
Something about this discontent
the rocks and dust break under my feet so I'm
dreaming of somewhere else
Watch me as I sing to the sea

In the water they can't break my shell
I can defy gravity
maybe I can conquer the world
