Michiru |
In every swell of the sea, you are there. |
In every rise, every fall, |
In every surge of salty water against a ragged shoreline, |
Your liquid grace and cool disposition are there. |
Soundless and agile, |
Undulating, |
With your warm and cold patches, |
Your currents flowing so evenly to one destination. |
And at night, |
When tart breezes ripple your surface, |
I can see the moon reflecting off of your glassy being, |
Like a mirror. |
And she stays there, in your arms, until the sun washes her away again |
