Sky vs. Sea
The moon is a place of solitude
I can tell my thoughts to it without judgement
It share my stories with the stars
I like to think Orion has advice for me
They may not speak back to me
But they guide me.
It's another world I can send my mind to.
But I long for the ocean.
The constant crashing of the waves-
solitude.
It's still hard not to get lost among the stars
-beauty is distracting
Luckily,
Draco isn't the only dragon.
Puff always comes back to me
Sometimes, he lures me with seashells
Sometimes I get shark teeth.
Then he takes me
To swim with the sharks
And the jellyfish
And the stingrays.
-comfort
About this poem
I wrote this poem to show the contrast between the things that interest me, but how they still have enough similarities to work together and make me whole.
