Why wait for the next life to be a bird
When you already
Have wings that
Can set you free
Pearl white
Scraped from the oceans depths
A circle around the globe
Resting on my chest
Warmed by the sun and engulfed by my skin
It’s iridescent line
A reminder of your soul
Crashing into mine
Two worlds collide
Into a sleepless night
And a hasty goodbye
A friend for life who never left my side
You’re on another shore now
Far, far away
But the prism glint from beyond
Still makes me wait
A constant reminder
To stay
To appreciate
The spectrum of light that united our ways
Black ocean water passes through pastel sunrises
Encapsulated in this droplet
Forever with me
From absence to every bit
