Ocean Eyes

“Wild Written”

Plant a forest
Plant a wild
Wild to tame
Wild of trees
Trees for cover
Trees for herbs
Herbs with cure
Herbs for food
Food for the hungry
Food for birds
Birds of the city
Birds at sea
Sea in Seattle
Sea with eyes
Eyes that water
Eyes like pearls
Pearls we keep
Pearls that breathe
Breathe through windows
Breathe beauty
Beauty like ash
Beauty of war
War like Trojan
War we’ve had
Had to accept
Had to battle
Battle for life
Battle in tears
Tears that ran down
Tears like oceans
Oceans we dipped
Oceans with feet
Feet that talked
Feet that slipped
Slipped out of sloped
Slipped into stars
Stars we are
Stars settling in
In moments of seek
In memories like these
These are the colours
These kind of authors
Authors from Socrates
Authors of eulogies
Eulogies like this
Eulogies written
Written with eyes
Written for the river
River
Eyes
