If only
I could love
the way I used to
and see the World
the way I used to
If only....
I could go down to the ocean
where I used to watch the waves
for hours and hours__
bury my feet in the sand__
jump in the water
and ride a few waves__
leaping up
and out of the water's
churning chaos
taking in deep breaths
of salt air
as the beads of water
would heal my sores
taking away
my aches and pains
and washing me of my sin
I used to be rejuvenated
by the Earth's blood__
You were always
smiling at me then__
Alas....
when I now
go down to the ocean
I see only the sharks
lurking in dark shadows__
birds dive bombing me
looking for a free meal__
and you
floating face down
in the Earth's sewer
holding your breath
praying that I can save you......
