She was a traveler and so was he
He loved adventure, and she, the sea
He crossed the countries to their shores
She crossed the oceans to many more.
He found his heart in the earth, with the roots
She found hers deep in the ocean flumes
He, with the earth worms, and she with the fish
Soon, he became the bait for all her heart’s whims.
He gave up his life on solid ground, to follow her with endless bounds
Soaring far from the place he called home, he found his love outside the zones
of his comfortable dirt and comfortable trees away from twittering birds and flitting bees.
He fell further in love than ever before
Unfortunately she couldn’t love anymore
She became obsessed with ebbs and with flows
Came closer to the edge as they came in droves.
He noticed her love drain from him into the sea foam
Still, he refused to let her be home
He was alone, and she was not
He then came to one final thought
He’d become one with the ocean’s waves
Hoping she’d notice, and their love would be saved.
He was right, she did, and fell in love again.
They sunk to the bottom. Now that’s where they live.
