The Sky and Us
I love the waves
I love the sun diving in their womb
I love its reflection glistening in crests and troughs
I love the firmament painted in hues no hand can ever match
I love how they come to me
how they weep with me
laugh with me
and listen to me.
And I, them.
Today I am naked under this sky
And amidst these waves
There is something so beautiful
About this vulnerability
Touching that of hundreds before me
And that of hundreds who are to arrive—
Those who saw and will see this sky
In hues I can never imagine;
Those who listened and will listen
To trebles out of my ear.
There is something so beautiful
About how despite our skies never meeting
We meet here today
Bathing ourselves away in these waves
Under this sky
Naked
And unfiltered.
