I will return to the sea someday
\nto divest everything given me.
\nI will throw my eyes in the waves
\nthat loved them so much,
\nand let the sea bring them back
\nfor someone else.
\nI will sheer my hair
\nand let the wind gather it
\nto make wings.
\nIt was kissed by lips
\nthat cherished it and me.
\nLet someone else wear it.<\/p>\n
I will return my hands
\nto lift rocks and play music.
\nThey were workmen hands
\nthat felt love and parted books,
\nand adored cheeks between their palms
\nthat shone with the luster of apples.
\nI will let my heart swim away,
\nwhich never deserted me,
\nbut went on beating
\nso full of care I learned
\nits faith,
\nand why I was put here
\non the earth.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll lay my legs gently
\non the ground and let them rest,
\nsleep, so deserving for carrying me,
\nand next to them my shoulders
\nfor the weight they bore
\nas life went on,
\nbut remained erect
\nand gave me dignity.<\/p>\n
And my voice
\nI will to shells,
\nI can not silence it.
\nIt wants to go on,
\nto sing forever
\nso I pray that it can.
\nI give it to anyone that needs it
\nand it will never say no
\nor have regrets.
\nSo I return myself to the sea
\nappreciating everything given
\nand made better by my life,
\nwith my heart\u2019s gratitude
\nof good measure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
