Poem: The Sea

[zetasyanthis]

The body remembers;
the soul forgets;
she cannot withstand the pain.

She cannot protect;
cannot remember;
her very own special name.

She dares not look up;
She dares not look down,
in fear of what eyes will see.

She cannot look forward,
or back to the side,
for fear of drowning in sea.

A sea of emotions,
a sea of despair,
she paddles ever across.

No lighthouse, no beacon
no ship's passing light,
she is forever lost.
