blue and white

and I caught the crest
of one wave,
my eyes filled
with the emptiness
of a far away sky,
strapping myself to
white faith,
taking one deep breath
of blue resolve,
to keep my head up
above unruly waters,
knowing
in the salt of every pore
of this threshed skin,
that with every wave
a new horizon appears,
dissolving endlessly
as it grows
into the old.
