i crush my feet into the sand
with a persistence
as if my legs will shake, waver, and wave across to the ocean waves...
i sink lower
i ground myself
with no resistance
so when i fall like a tree i may be taken to sea and not gawked at from this beach.
i welcome the fog
a fog that brings calmness with no sight but is forthright in its forgiveness and i cant help but trust its omnipotence.
i wanna go somewhere low and wet...
i seek something ubiquitous
when will i go back to a time
before my body kept the score
take me to sea and bury me so i may find peace without being pelted by sand from the beach
take me to sea and drown me so i may taste the salt and remember a thirst id long forgotten
take me to sea so i can stare at the sun as it rises and falls not behind mountains, but beyond something vast and just out of sight from me
take me to sea
(this is a poem about how trauma effects your viewpoint in life, how it feels consuming, how it feels fixed, and how when you surrender yourself to it you find peace and a remembered thirst for a becoming future)
