Pages

Standing by the water’s edge

Quietly making a silent pledge

Letting go of past afflictions

Looking to see my own reflection

The current moves in my direction

Take a step forward without caution

Dip feet into the shallow water

My mind goes into a blur

Suds gathers the ankles

Creating mini circles

Take in a deep breath

Desire life more than death

Stand still for a moment

Element poses no judgment

Clouds take in my thoughts

Nearby seagulls walk like robots

Walk back onto the shoreline

It’s a little past nine

The fresh morning breeze

Puts my mind at ease

 Sit down on the soft sand

With pen and notebook in hand

Jot down my inner emotions

And unresolved burdens

Wind picks up suddenly

Continue to write freely

Blowing through the many pages

Seeing self in different stages

Contemplate what’s next for me

As an overcast approaches the sea

Listen to the ocean speak

My hand becomes weak

Light rain begins to fall

Feeling ever so small

Alone and unaware

That God was always there
