The Ocean

Sitting in my room… …

The darkness,
My faithful companion.
Hearing the pounding
of the waves crash
With each car that glides by.

The ocean is calling me… …
With every beat that passes,
The ocean is calling to me… …

I make my way,
Again,
To my trusted sanctuary.
The sanctuary that waters all my secrets,
The sanctuary where fishes breed
On the offerings
of my dreams.

Finally,
Like a prisoner feasting on his freedom
I see it… …
Time has slowly stopped,
And my heart erupts as the volcanic beauty
Of the undefeated
shakes me to wake.

With each crashing truth,
Doubts and fears melt away
As the salt water corrodes the rock
That had become my heart.

Wonder is safely captured in my vision
And hours pass
As the free souls of the missed ones
Reassure me through the whistle of the
spraying sea.

I am whole again… …
I am at peace with the earth… …
I am at peace… … ... ... ... ... ... ... with me
