Bella's Lament

The hollow beating of my heart

Reminds me, all too often

Of the distance between us.

A steady rhythm

That pushes you away from me

With each pulse of life

You yearn to take

What I have freely offered

Like the tide sweeping against the shore

But drawing back when it gets too close

In fear that the earth will be worn away.

But if the earth could beg

Would it not wish for each grain

Each part of itself

To be swept up into that torrent

That boundless love

To be one with every part

Of every sea

Joining together in perfect harmony

Each wave

Each breath

Each eternity.

The heartbeat of the sea

Silent, but overflowing

In what we are

What we can be.

When you kiss me

When my heart stops

We are together

And the distance closes

While the ocean draws nearer.
