In Whose Hands

Was on my way to visit a friend my mind in disarray Thinking of what I had lost Hit the road's end Facing the desolate coast Not knowing where I had deviated But here I was Upon this deserted beach Safe, I had ended here And the sea beckoned to me Took off my shoes And dipped my feet In its swirling waters I moved forward Toward the wave Coming at me Turned my back And let it roll over me The cold took me aback Jumping up and laughing My arms out, my heart caught In this exhilaration. I had died inside, careless, But now I was revived, My soul, weightless. free verse © CarolineCecile 04.24.12
