Let This Wave Carry Me

by shelly-woods

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
