Ocean

Sean Phelan

 

I am the Ocean

I am rough, rocky

Smooth, and clear

And you are the lighthouse,

Shining bright out over me

Oh how I long to feel your light,For it to point at me

Instead of over.

And so I break myself against your stones every day,

Crashing against the rocks,

Splitting myself,

But I cannot reach you.

I am not why you’re here.
