Beneath the Waves
By Jason Sturner


He floats on green sea, sky softens eyes twilight blue.

Fish set course for curious, jump like finned rainbows.

The heart ventured at daybreak, went searching with sail;

anchored soul waits for resurrection, swirls with dreams.



Apart since sunrise, he’s been at opposite ends of her hour.

Life sleeps on shore, sunset bends towards fiction.

Love has splashed her, soaked the heart with promises;

angelic soul lifts, maiden albatross flies.



He waits, she will come—

and they will swim down together.
