If I gave myself over to the waves
Would my soul stop longing?
Calling out into the void
Easing into the energy
Movements back and forth
But not displaced
I could be one with the sea
Free to roam and spread and be
Tempestuous
Flowing
All of me crashing into the shore
At once
That’s who I am
Run ragged
Thrashed against sand banks
Repeatedly
I find myself
An empty body
Lost at sea
And
Drying out

I used to be so afraid
Of turning out like her
But I just realized
That they both ended up alone

So quick to judge another
Are but a decision away
From sharing their struggle
