Spirit adrift

beneath the waves

shelter in numbers

danger lives among the ranks

a life of service

a life at sea

guard against the enemy

Her stems and stalks

come together

where the heart lives

hair spills down

a heavenly disaster

pure beauty

her weaponry

the water washes out the former

saliva tastes like blood

dwell upon

moving forward into dawn

darkness in her wake

beneath the waves

vibrant unfoldment

owl eyes turn toward you

don’t avert your gaze

her grace

her ammunition

obliterate prior sins

forgive and move onward

she’ll do what it takes

to heal, recover

accept, move forward

grow, emote

disperse disease

grow

a heavenly disaster

reflected in the water

guard against the enemy

reflected in the water

spirit adrift

reflected in the water

her beauty, her weaponry

reflected in the water

tastes like blood

reflected in the water

darkness into dawn

reflected in the water

vibrant unfoldment

reflected in the water

owl eyes turn toward you

reflected in the water

shelter in numbers

reflected in the water

beneath the waves

reflected in the water

pure beauty, her weaponry

reflected in the water

her grace, her ammunition

reflected in the water
