Waters of Disdain – by Nina (from the Colonies)

When I visit the waters of Disdain 
I see the spirals of ships in a distance, 
How they roll across the waves 
How they sound when they hit the water 
And then I see the crystallized sand, 
How it is being pushed into eternity of sea 
And how the sea creatures move out from the waters 
And become land creatures 
When I look at the waters of Disdain 
I know that I am part of the Universe 
Flowing in and out 
I know that I am part of the land and the sea 
And I run my fingers across the waves 
Until I hit the sand. 
There is distinctness, variety, disturbance and otherwise life. 
But I look upon the seas of Disdain, 
I cry for my alien mother 
and I weep for my alien father 
and I run to my children of choice, 
That are not mine and 
I know that they are caring, 
And then I laugh because I know 
That I have much to give 
And many fathers and many mothers in many senses. 
When I look upon the waters of Disdain.
