Brains!

We held tight to each other.
It was quiet at the bottom,
with the ocean all around us.
But they held onto my eyes.
They lead me by their curling fingers.
I shed tears often, unexpectedly.
But the currents absorbed them instantly.
Sometimes I imagined dry land.
What it looked like once.
Lush devotion.
Verdant passion.
So much that like the ocean,
it splashed up against it's shores.
Brimming with elation.
Down at the bottom I am old.
The sun winks behind his watery veil.
But I can't stop smiling.
Wondering if this current is the path in the woods.
Glints of silver flash above me.
And I know, what I have learned.
I look back at you.
Everything has brought me to you.
The solid silent stone.
