Go Alone To the Sea
A briny wind and a shoaling sea shore,
and I sense a cobwebbed dispersing
the shredded unraveling of care.
Go alone to the seas edge,
take no thought or fret to that
swirling margin.
Let that wild alchemy play
as it dissolves your senses,
turning them into that sky phantom
you always knew you were.
See how the sandy pebbles
have no control as to where
the waves toss them?
Let go of your sea wall, be swept away,
rearranged,
something unplanned, unrehearsed.
Empty your vessel, be the rise and fall
of the waves and the wind.
Allow that new being to be
rediscovered.
