Parallels

Parallels
I am an ocean
Restless, impatient, wildly emotional, unpredictable
I am the ocean
And you are the sky
I reflect you
Your mystery and raw beauty
When you are clear and bright,
I glitter in the sun
When you’re stormy, cloaked in dark clouds
My waters are dark and violent
Most notable are the sunsets
Gorgeous, aggressively colorful
At your touch,
I light up
Like the sun, you sink into me
And for a moment
We cease to be parallels,
Identical but never touching
You and I become one,
Two halves of a whole
Stunning, inspiring
Night falls,
And I reflect your dreams
You invade mine
A sky full of stars
Reflected in the calm ocean waters
