As far as my eyes and heart can look
This scenery opens my inner book
Inviting me to write on the blank page
To radically recalibrate life's gauge
The aqua sea, warm soft sand, endless sky
No reason to be here, not lost in why
A steady surf thrumming music in veins
The hot relentless sun, serves up old pains
Wave after wave try to drag me under
Insecurity wants me to blunder
I'm on the safe shore, sitting, yet stumble
Building fast inside of me, a rumble
That explodes and the tide takes it away
Grace, in this moment, gives me some leeway
Eyes closed, I allow my vessel to drift
To halt now, the hourglasses sand-sift
It must be done, or I'll lose my foothold
The in-between world, before this threshold
Wind encircles, hair wisps begin to fly
Here they come, all the tears I couldn't cry
