The Wave

In a winter’s ocean

waiting for the allotted wave

I consider 

For the longest time

The reasons why

Until

A velvet touch

A seal

My sister

Not gone  

Not drowned

But here with me

Times passes  

Until she whispers 

Your child calls for you

The wave breaks

Tears swell the ocean

I turn

And swim to shore
