against the sea
by tanner brockwell

against the sea
of boundless chance
what a change
take this
before the storm
ambassadors
in embassy aligned
like it was the sign
you had been waiting
solitude strangely fine
while you were walking
walking in time
patterns left in the soft sand
gone before the next day
winds that change
watch them rising
the horizon a canvas
touched by fire
celestial spheres
betoken the acts that follow
slow and majestic
