Lights of the Deep

This solitude, this solace, this depth of stillness sparse
And barren. 
No! an ocean: beneath waves
And breath of wind,
Sea breeze constant as time and current.

I wait. Stand, float and swim, climb (rise) and fall.

Around me, lights of the deep,
An echo back to distant star: 
An echo to warm Earth’s core. 
This blue of calm 
and thought of change: as tides shift,

So bring me to your shore.
