Another poem for the ocean
 
 
Only when I breathe
 
 
 
Can you see me?
 
Not until I’m near.
 
Will you touch me?
 
Except for in my dreams.
 
Won’t you taste me?
 
Perhaps, in the evening.
 
Does she hear me?
 
Sometimes when she sleeps.
 
Can’t you take me?
 
Forever I’ll try.
 
Don’t you want me?
 
Never more than now.
 
Do you feel me?
 
Only when I breathe.
