Ocean Moon

from cry if you need to by Dana Anastasia

lyrics

I’m scared of the water, and I run from the sea. Like a baby just born, I’m eager to breathe. But the Moon is a Cancer, the creature I mean, crawling back to the lip of the sea. The footsteps of an insect clap over my page, as I sit here lamenting a contemptible age. But what can I say that hasn’t been said? I’m just one of the mourners. Ocean Moon, wash me clean. This world is looking awful mean. My tears are as salty as the sea. As my soul slips toward solitude (the solace of space) and the world strains to recognize its own changing face, somewhere a feather falls up from the void pushed by a small exhalation of joy. After the flood, what will remain? Will I feel like a garden just after the rain? Will the shadows dissolve from the wall of the cave with the light of a new day? Ocean Moon, wash me clean. This world is looking awful mean. My tears are as salty as the sea.
