Waves

I allow the waves to wash over my feet as I stand on the shore. 

Many times I have visited this place, this space.

I come in need of clarity

when my mind, far from shore, becomes turbulent.

Oh waters,

Wash my body clean from misuse and abuse.

Bath me in the cool mist of your waters.

Prepare this body of mine.

Make it worthy.

Oh waters,

Grab my soul from its retreat. 

Lure my soul forward as you recede from my body.

Entice my soul to stay with me as a guide through this world.

Oh waters,

Be kind and cleanse me.

I am ready for the beauty of my soul.

Draw my soul out!

Heave it from its deepest depths!

Tell it to hide no more!

Oh waters,

Caress me once more

Relax my body to accept this ancient soul.

Staunch the fight my body refuses to lose.

Oh waters,

 cover me and make me whole

Once more.

She Believesinherself

I live to write. I write to live.
