today, i do not have it within me
to answer the distress call of the aching sea,
i have not the energy for a search and rescue
mission for a heart setting, sinking over the horizon.
today, a brilliance of light and reflection
is emblazoned throughout the air, the sea
does not move. my heart is here, not out there,
and i need not move, to go off searching,
fleeing, departing.
there are days like these within which i float,
or i could tumble like a seed, smile like a child,
dance, or sleep. i know i'm alive, incorruptible
and innocent, yet prone to the folly of tomorrow.
i don't care, i only live for today.
