you come in waves of wisdom
and caress me with new vistas
tears that taste salty sweet
an aftertaste of the way it once felt
swells of a giant washing over
melt foundations of the outdated
sand land of the past
dissolves with each drop
little castles return to their source
into the curves of my own flesh
i have fallen
embraced between skin and bone
tenderness fills me now
a new shape forming
the foam revealing
a freedom within the
freshness of my lungs
sun-burned, heart open
i shattered
only to discover
the pieces of my power
life has brought me
to my knees
so i could see
resurrected by surrender
i am not ashamed
of such vulnerability
many moons i’ve learned
to come undone
to feel
in this nakedness
a veridical sort of vital
i’ve found
flushed by spirit
aroused by the verge
arriving in
a new kind of castle
windows washed by crystalline orbs
forecast in my mind, aligned
with the here and now
how brilliant it is
to be alive
this moment
so potent
i thank you
for revealing
there is no feeling to fear
emotions eventually clear
we are not our circumstances
we are the witness
and the lover
of it all
