Eyes on the Sky

Sixteen, filled with sea mist. 
Perched on the ragged rocks, 
like primordial fortress walls, 
I wait for the sun to reach it's zenith
and turn the page.  

I can still return, return,
and return again like the tide.

I float. That's how I survive.
I float above the wreckage,
like a swimmer curling between waves.
The splintered ship on the ocean floor beneath me.
Blue sky above. 

Keep your eyes on the sky
