The Deception

The ocean yearns to meet the sky
One is forever reflected in the other
-like mirror images 
-like age old lovers
Is it in grieving that the ocean rages 
with its waves reaching for the sky?
Is it in mourning that the sky pours down as rain?
And the horizon—-
like the deceptive fate
holds them both captive,
Luring them 
Into a false union.

– d.h.
