Not in a Vessel, Just me
A Poem
I wish to be out there on the sea.
Not in a vessel, just me.
I want to swim to the moonlight,
the exact moment it first kisses the water.
I wish to float there.
Just me, surrender.
I want to pretend that my body is the paintbrush.
I wish to trace the light all the way to shore.
Just me, floating, at peace with my emotions not war.
I want to meet the sand as the new day awakes.
Stand tall, in the sunlight, proudly knowing I had let go.
I wish to be out there on the sea.
Not in a vessel, just me.
