The Sea Within

The water beating gently
 upon the boat, rocking us-
    side to side
As I move out towards open waters

The surrounding skyline disappears,
   the rolling surface stretched
    out, broken only by the breakers

The excitement of my soul,
   The feeling of perfection, the
     universe, infinity surrounds
       me

Freedom,

I am awake, alive, part of
   all that is. Birth,
     the surging of energy,
       within me and upon the
           rising and falling crests.

The same,

Together, at home, at peace,
   basic, like being held in the
     arms of one's true love

That perfect love, I have
    known but once, entirely
     consuming, transforming,
       elevating the soul,

Like a soul mate She may be
   kind, yet also hard, rough,
     and unforgiving,

Just as the waves smack
   into the hull past the wall,
     tossing about, chaotic, dangerous,
        and thrilling,

Heart pounding, even in Her anger
   you could not be more alive,
     aware, passionate, and in love

Till at last those same waves
    that battled, threateningly,
before carry  you back to shore.

Home,

Tied to the peer, methodically
   swaying on the river,
The affair with the sea over
   for a day but never done,
for I love Her forever,
   as I will always love her,

Both my soul mates,
   bound by the universe, intrinsic,
     eternity...
