On the Water

I will find you on the water
first thing in the morning
with the sky streaked red

I will find you on the water
because I could never find you on land

I will find you on the water
with all of the memories I wished I had

I will find you on the water
that’s where I will teach my daughter to look for you too

I will find you on the water
between the waves
and in the smell of salt in the air

I will find you on the water
tomorrow
today I will imagine your feet are still on land
