Let This Wave Carry Me
First the sun
Warm and gold
Then the wind
Swift and bold
Of all that I know
Little I remember; little I behold
Fearing it is my last... I gasp for breath.
A scent like no other
Fills my emptied soul
Memories flood into me
Like a perilous undertow
A wave catches me
And carries my soul
I am full again.
Wonder pulsates through my veins
Living is no longer in vain
Blood warms my extremities
Chasing fond memories
Once again, I begin
For the moment, I am
I see... I breathe... I believe.
For the moment, no end
To stop me
No fear to paralyze
No wounds to hide
A moment of peaceful bliss
All tears subside
I will let this wave carry me.
I don't fight the current
I let it take me
where it wants
Not out of bravery
But from my addiction
To wonder... and clarity
