wash wind wail
whispering waves
wandering, wanting
whitecaps whipping wide
waltzing water
wallowing in wandering
wake of moonlight spilling
silver, slicing, sliding
swell sighs, seething
spindrift spinning, sparkling
salt slicing skin
slapping, sliding,
swallowing small sighs
sermons of sea
singing, spiraling
swallowing, swallowing
shore shrinks
shadows shift
sudden surge
sudden swoon
sinking, swooping, swirling
spinning, spiraling
silence shivers
silver shadows shimmering
swim stumble,
stumble, submerge
submerged, submerging
sound softens, swallowed
space stretches, suffocates
sunlight slips, slides
sinking in sloshing solitude
slosh, splash, slip,
sputter, sink,
swallowing sorrow,
sea soaked,
salted,
silent
swish swirl swoon,
slip past skin,
submerge subside
soul slides,
subtle,
small,
submerged in silver
shimmering,
shimmering,
slump,
saturated,
swallowed,
spiraled,
silent,
sleep
soundless,
sinking,
salt singing in veins
shadows swirl
swaying, sliding, sliding,
shattered shapes of moon
mirrored, molten,
melting into my mouth
slip soft,
slip slow,
sublime surrender,
swallowing sky,
swallowing silver,
swallowing self
sleep sweet,
silent
slack tide
swallows me whole
full moon flooding
fingers of foam
fingers of fire
fingers of forever
