i'm on the shore of an ocean bigger than my imagination,
and it wakes my feet with the struggles of this world;
the hopelessness that comes with injustice,
my ankles feel the brim of uncertainty and inaccuracy.
somehow, i'm locked into place,
my feet are grounded like the roots of a tree
and i stare ahead.
home is no where in sight, not even a phone call away;
the coldness of water is now touching my knees,
i shiver with a knotted stomach but brush it off just in time
to realize my thighs are in the depths of insecurities.
still, my eyes are locked on a glorious sky straight ahead,
hardly noticing i'm drowning within myself.
suddenly, salt water covers my stomach with reclusiveness,
and an 'i wish..' mentality,
my hands swish the water back and forth wondering where
the air went.
a firework of colors stream the sky as a sun sets,
there are blues and reds and pixels of hues i've never witnessed before,
so naturally, i focus.
my neck realizes the water has clasped all around with
unanswered prayers and arrogant excuses;
the gravity of the water triggers my mind to act,
panic, sheer terror, sadness envelopes me -
water never covers my head, this is where i stay
and this is when he commands me to
rejoice, always.
