Riptide
The voracious water ever waiting
Sweeps my friend away as my eyes close
Always my eyes are drifting farther
I dream of my friend
My friend forged red in courage
Is the ocean so audacious?
Surely the sea can see something not to eat
But water is patient
All-encompassing
I remember my friend in the rain
The sea may touch me
I go to join my companion
Surely I am worth my darkness
