I awoke – from the ocean
pushed deep from the
waters weight I could
not breath, I could not move,
and I could not see outward,
but in my mind I swam
freely through images, and time,
experiences, regrets, and loss.
I held these close to my heart
to my fractured mind until I
became consumed, distracted, disconnected – lost.
Only when I released you
did I awake from the ocean.
