See Me

I was a log in the waves

Last time you saw me

End over end I was thrown

I endlessly groaned

"Hold my hand. Won't someone come surf me?"

And of course no one came

You stood and watched the wash of water

Wedge me hopelessly into the sea wall

And there I stayed

And quickly decayed

Then we all swapped molecules

Now with the wave of my hand

I command you to see me

I'm more like a mountain this time

Unmoving, alpine, decked in fog

I'm concealed in snow clouds

You're the farmer below

And if you've seen my face once

Then through twelve cloudy months

You will know that I'm there behind curtains

You'll know mountain light

Through thickness of night

See me
