“there is some kind of sweet innocence in being human – in not having to be just happy or just sad

– in the nature of being able to be both broken and whole, at the same time.” 

/// C. Joybell C

…

i feel like a wave crashing onto the shore.
the steady rhythm of the current pulling me to and fro.
the faint whispers of the receding tides.

i find myself with my toes sinking into the wet sand.
isolated on a beach with dawn breaking.
thoughts swirling within me…building like the storm that is brewing on the coast.
eyes trained on the horizon.

my hearts’ echo is pulling me further and further from the present.
drowning in memories; in thoughts of what is to come.
confused. hopeful. miserable. joyful.
all threading themselves together to spell out the date of today.

salt water cures everything.
tears, sweat, the ocean, more tears.
my safe place – my home – my solace is found with my feet in the ocean.
or with my back to the mountains.
the ocean will due for now.

i feel like a wave crashing onto the shore.
the steady rhythm of the current pulling me to and fro.
the faint whispers of the receding tides.
feeling worn.
feeling poured into.
feeling drained.
feeling the sun beginning to break.

salt water cures everything.
i feel like a wave crashing onto the shore.
