Adrift

Caught
in waves of emotion
tumbled … rolled … breathless

crushed by the weight of it
rock … sand … debris
clearing the path of uncertainty

breaking on the shore of emptiness
my heart weeps
motionless

I bump into myself
confronted by the illusion of who I am not
longing to be released
pulled apart by tidal forces
changing

voices call … shapes appear
I am carried past the surging will

showered by grace
sunlit fingers touch me and caress my soul

floating toward a seamless horizon
gleaming with particles of fractured light
adrift in an open sea
silenced by the miles

stillness runs deep in the swell
I am anchored
in the rising flames
of liquid fire
burning
