Being encompassed by water still doesn’t quench my thirst for life
You should only be so lucky to call that kind of paradise your domicile
You’ve earned that right by your beauty
Mabey beauty is power?
Created in silence but deafening with your will to be free
Mystifying due to your calm; bottled up with doting recollections
The rough casing surrounds you pregnant with salty serenity
The irregular exterior that uniforms you conflicts with your charmingly pink core
Almost as if you gave birth to a dancing star
Laid at the bottom only to be admired
Holding aged memories of progression and recession that remain untouchable
Unbreakable
I envy you for getting to stay and play on “heaven on earth.”
Did the lightning lick you with her tongue?
Is that how you got here?
You, the semiprecious stone of the world,
Ppossess no words but seize every moment to enlighten anyone and everyone
I love you for knowing that all great despisers are also great adorers
