Ocean Voice

Natalie Crick

The night is dying,
Morning merely mist.

Clouds remains silent
About their loss.

We cross frontiers
So easily that we mistake
Heaven for blue sky.

My voice was blind, grayed,
Unheard,
Rolling like a nightingale into song.

The ocean still haunts,
It’s salt embedded
In our skin.
