Plunging deep into your waters
Breathing in the mist of you
Taking on your surge of power
Fresh and crisp, as morning dew
Heading safely to your islands
To your warm, welcoming shores
In the capsule, of your passage
Im the boat, and you’re my oars
You, the dream
And I, the dreamer
Longing together, just once more
To be held safe, content and happy
Know what desire on my lips are for
So long I’ve waited to be closer
To touch your face, dive in your eyes
And swim in loves unending fountain
Away from secrets, pain or lies
Come closer, please, I cannot reach you,
the distance far, the hope is long
My body aches to feel you near me
Back in my arms, where you belong

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

I can't tell if it's from an unrequited lover, a lover that's been let go and has not yet returned, or one that has crossed the veil of this world into the next. It sort of has a few Titanic vibes to it as well. Nice work, Kelli.
Very loving poem
