Drifter

"you've been drifting for a long long time..." 🎵

 Drifter,

Don't vanish. 
Your presence is a beach break,
     Like Shidashita.  
Rolling up slow and curling off into the lapping tide 
     Like a memory.  
Formidable mass forming inescapable inertia.


Watcher, 

Find a way, come what may
Elemental truth crashing down 
     Met by  unrelenting shores.  
Carving with grit and salt, 
     Might even say softness,
A place to place its gifts. 

A surfer stands at the mouth of an open cave in which rests a pearl inside a seashell, amongst rocks and driftwood. Behind the surfer is a curling wave.
