Napowrimoday 4: For Sam H

I can't quite put my finger on it--
Maybe the right light would bring clarity
It's a rarity that I see the world without
Distortion--sea water warps sunshine
Your name spelt like "mine" and constellations
twisted and if you blink you might miss it--

I always liked the ocean for its eternities
The seas can't draw them apart--just try to
Capture them in my art and their endlessness
I tried to count the letters in your name
But the light shifted and I lost count--
I know there's the same letters 
As are in "ocean"and if only 
I could teach myself to read
The ripples and the sea weed and the shifting tides
Maybe then I could forget the colors 
Of your eyes.
