Deep sea script

dream is real, not pretend
like the deep end 
crystallized memories
cut from the trees 
amber and honeybees. 
your branches sway, moved by the Wind
driftwood and glass bottle remnants 
traces of sand always linger. 

Braided beauty, i see the stories in your eyes 
what jungles have you wandered? what gardens do you hide? 

you're a kite!
glittering green 
woven from leaves 
head over heels in flight

you're a map! 
torn from a storybook
every cavern and hide
every treasure and tide
colored with ink 

your lions have no cages
your journal filled with pages
your play is bright but.the.stage.is.
white.
like a blank page, sail in the wind, write your lines
a beautiful shanty, deep sea script. 

salt stings, but you know how to heal
and befriend the shattered sharks like me
let's run away to sea
and never grow old.
