Come find me at the juncture
where that ever-widening
firmament
kisses the unrelenting waves.
I wait for you,
singing the song of the
watery expanse.
A siren calling you
to this hallowed deep.
Soar to me, sylph,
through that empyrean vault,
and I will swim to you
until we bathe, unified,
in that royal cerulean horizon.
