the ocean is roaring over herself vacuuming space with sound and when I close my eyes she gets closer than ever washing me over, cleansing sandy pores and I find myself floating above her gently fixed to the horizon and she laps at me licking dirt from my feet, clutter from my mind and she bellows louder and louder shhhhoving open room inside of me creating new shelter for breath and she winks sun into my heart refracting rainbows from a rocky harbor. I am awestruck and speechless as she tucks me under rolling sheets and I dream of letting go letting go letting go til she lullabies me into watery peace.
