Set ourselves apart, or belong?


What is it with these waves, 
That they keep rushing toward the beach?
 Don’t they understand 
They’ll simply splash and fall away;
 Never climb those enticing cliffs, 
Never dream among the trees, 
But simply return to the blue anonymity 
 Of the sea; 
The same oneness we’ve been craving, 
We who struggle here on land, 
Defining ourselves, 
 Seeking what will set us apart, 
Even as we long for belonging…
