mariner

I don't mind
loosing to the sea
her beauty unparralled 
her strength majestic 
as her waves 
crash in: go out
on the east coast 
where men are 
packed in boxes
she is the closest thing to freedom
and on the west 
where trees have 
known her thousands of years
she knows their stories 
as her own - a man 
who has known the sea 
can barely love 
a human woman - we pale 
in comparison 
to the moon seen at night 
we may hold their hearts 
but the sea owns their souls
