How is it I never see

The waves that bring me her words to me

for though unseen they drift around

they catch my breath and knock me down



I feel them quickly swirling by

As they withdraw with my reply

And slip into the dark of night

As I attemt to stay upright



Instead I'm stranded on my knees

As words depart upon the breeze

That quickly drifts away from here

And possibly won't reach her ear



If we could see the many waves

that flow through clouds and sunken caves

She'd sense at least the words that sought her

on the winds of the underwater
