Opportunity That Heals

With moonlight, I pace… a quiet repose That gazing far across a wind-tossed sea Ringlets of tides beckon me, quietly. Where an opportunity lifts my woes As I in solace view the edge of bends Until crests turn strong whirpool to downtrends To appease my soul torn, a pain that grows. Yet, the drifting wave rinses like a salve The roll of tears, breaths…salty mist foregoes; When my whimper exhales through ripples that heal; And dissolves into mist on fate of zeal. This burden released, heart of sea bestows One final chance where new dewdrops spill, A good luck rising from ocean's goodwill. Opportunities Contest of Nayda Ivette Negron

Healing through the tides. Embracing serentiy with every formidable crash, to regain one's identity. Fantastic.
