I had no expectation
Of how you called me out
Unreserved communication
No shadow of a doubt
While sipping soup and downing tea
You whispered loudly by the sea
I ignored you casually
You waited impatiently
Without clear thought or intention
I headed slowly your direction
With thoughts of friends and smoking's ends
You blew out my cigarette and made a wish
I rested sitting there; Winter air
Our meeting on the pier
Cold concrete seat; water under feet
Mind white-washed bright and clear
I arose without a thought and fought you
Knowing you would push back
I persisted forward until I had to stop
Far away from shore
At lands end I stood up high to see above the rail
No chance of sunshine, no ship at sail
I stood and greeted you
Your familiarity cold and running through me
The seabirds flew sideways
I stood as still as a kite hovering
Held by the powerful unseen
With an unrequited desire to dictate your movement
You are control
My glimpse of eternity
Lapping waves right under me
My ears filled with your static lullaby
I will no longer hide, but chase you down
Having left my poker-card church creation
For I know I was born of you
And you are my final destination
