I spoke to the sea

and asked to be swept away.

The tide carried me

to the deep further from shore.

I closed my eyes

and embraced the distance.

Twas me and the sea

dancing between two earths.

Beneath the water

and the air filling my lungs.

The sea of the earth

touching the skin beneath me.

The air of the earth

brushing the skin above me.  

I’m lost in the waves

cut off from worries and fear.

I have happily

left a world absorbed by greed.

Balanced within my

existence – accepting fate.

I spoke to the sea

and realized I am now free.
