vessels

[warmbodies]

i am your island of refuge
that will give you the strength
to fight against these currents
that carried you off into the sea.

i am only a vessel unto you;
the body that lifts you back up
from beneath the raging waves
that filled your lungs with water.

and i will be the harbor
to greet you as you return
back to the forgotten shore
you once called your home.
