I whispered a promise out to the sea:

"I will protect you- if you don't hurt me."

This was several years ago.

I have grown since

And I know

The sea can't tell the difference

Between flesh and sand.

It doesn't make promises.

Nor does the land,

But I look at the place where it kisses the sky

And remember that I do not need a reply

And call softly out to the unknowing haze:

"I will protect you for all of my days."
