What I am

I am an ocean
A swelling wave maker
I am a grave
A cold still
Pit.
I am the shame
Under your
Makeup
And the pride
Of a new father.
I am alive.
All of me.
My stillness
Waits with energy
My sadness builds
A home for my joy
That thunders
Through the sky.
I am alive.
Even in death.
I am alive.
