Looking Up

I drag my anchors

through wet sand

I sweat and curse and cry

can’t even breathe

enough to scream

until she caught my eye

"she's everything", I whisper

gazing up from down below

I meet her stare

and see me there

for that I love her so

I fill in valleys with my dreams

the tall waves, threaten heaven

it is but she, who steadies me

with a supernatural leaven

From up there I smile upon

The girl under the water

I want to lift her to the clouds

I love her like a daughter

but she grew gills before I flew

weightless into the sea

no longer seeking the divine

for it is within me.
