bittersweet oasis

--------------------------------------------------------------------

once in a blue moon you find
something to actually hold on to

airing my heart out to dry
only to get wet again
so much for preserving emotional sanity my friends
abstract salty air lingers for a while
i used to wish she’d still smile
......

the thought is on the tip of every tide
that surfaces at my feet
sea sickness sets in at the slightest motion
or is it emotion?

waves of memories take their cliché place
towering above my head as usual
i cling to what i’m used to…
strong roots we hope..
wish I was in your boat
if only the sting of salty air
could cause my senses to go numb
i’d be fine
looking at the open ocean
rarities happen, blue moons shine

waves rise, waves roll,
but there’s a feeling in my soul
every thing is gonna be alright, again.
