a place
from this view
my curtains are waves
roaring to the shore
throwing salt to the air
raging sounds the sleepers crave
i can hear the gulls
calling to us
i can feel your hand in mine
see the ocean breeze
drag your hair across your cheek
i can sense the power
a place has for us
to be somewhere together
to be anywhere that is safe
and while i wish my arms were enough
i know they can’t protect you
the way miles can
but you should know
i’m happy in any place
as long as you are there
