the ocean

 

 

after a while
i get sick of this sickness
i feel tired of delivering
all this dreaming in motion

take my forty-five minute drive
head for the shoreline
in my heart i keep rising and falling
just like the ocean

    what sort of sound does the world make,
    when it is breaking?
    -waves crashing, crashing

quick with no line
to separate time
between silence and meaning
and flowing consortion

take my twenty-one reasons why
i'm positive i don't work inside
all my sin stretches farther and farther
just like the ocean

    what sort of sound does the world make,
    when it is breaking?
    -waves crashing, crashing

with the best of distress
i acquiesce
    i won't be long
enveloped entirely
swirling in blue and green
    no more air to breathe
    i'll softly fall to sleep
    let God speak to me
    living is so tiring

 

 

 

 

 

i won't be long
