The clouds were dark
but the ocean suggested different.
Close by the waves were
rough and murky.

Breaking on my side,
as if the water
was trying to save me.

The wind came up
and rain came down.

Raindrops scattered on my face,
while my eyes tried to focus
on the edge of the horizon.

Distracted by hope,
and the pure bliss of being...

alive

She crept onto me
like the moon did on darkness,
put her hand around my head
and whispered…
You are safe now
