To sea

[poisonjin]

These moments we saved
They burn
In our minds like beacons
To other planes, other places
Where the things we know do not reign.

We go too fast to chase them
The froth from the boat's wake blinds us
We see nothing for
The salt in our eyes
Solidify and we collide.

To ashes, we turn
And blow in the wind
Sink in the water-

We cannot swim.
