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.
