I went to the ocean to swim in its waves to take in the water, put salt on my veins I laid in the sand to unravel within and fed off The Sun like a freckle on skin
I went to the ocean to borrow some Time to walk on the shore, put my toes on the line I picked up the pieces I found on the way and left them in places where I couldn’t stay
I went to the ocean to reap from its Peace to wrap my whole heart in a Spirit I need I gave up my senses to render my Soul and understood Love like I understand Hope
“The Sun is a freckle’s favorite food.” — my momma, Vera
