Sun kept secret by a blanket of grey
Warm water, an aimless, welcomed gift from cool air
Toes squish into soft sand below
As waves sweep me away--

Come so far, come so far
to be pushed back
to where I started.

Safety, serenity in a shallow baptism
Feet firmly planted after each lift
Sweet fresh breeze, away from a heavy city
Free to let go--

Come so far, come so far
to be pushed back
to where I started.

A laugh on land tells me this minute is not mine
Another day, another mind, another life
Whose story winks at mine.
So I float.
