Sway with me

Author: Manahil Shahnawaz

The texture is similar,

Only warmer,

So when you twiddle your toes,

With a twinkle in your eye and dig in

The grains are wider apart,

They don’t cling as much or send

Shudders down your spine,

The waves gush forth,

Less wild, less melancholy, free’er

More friendly to the touch.

It froths up the faster it gushes

The ocean, sway with me

Take me round

Let me walk on you

Keep me afloat.

Like the Dead Sea buoyancy

The sky is streaked

Orange, yellow and pink

Sway with me

Like the ocean when it’s at peace
