Over the Winds

In another life I was a whale

That breached the surface

Far

Too often,

Taking a dive up,

Geysing storms

of ocean water,

Each drop grasping onto the air,

Trying to bring some home.

In this life I am not a whale.

I am in the air,

Pulling it in, letting it out,

Tasting the scent of life,

But all I want to do is drown,

To let in the peace,

To feel the tides carry me,

Over the winds.
