We are Oceans apart. How do I Reconcile The distance? How do I Pull you in Closer to my chest? How do I? Embrace your shaking body How do I? At my feet Waves crashing Ashore My people Whose life revolves Around water Vast ocean Doesn't seem to Suffice, As a safe haven Is that why God sent you Wandering The earth Searching? Is that why Water Keeps coming back? Is that why Your life Unravels Like the Exodus In the parting red sea? Where is Moses! While we flee. Were we meant to drown? In this violent Cycle of floods Us Frightened and cold In our flimsy Bamboo shelters With no anchor to hold. 38
