Listen to poem:
Where Waves Become Me
waves crash and tumble
washing feet in sifting sand
my mind drifts to hush
thoughts dissolve in frothing foam—
I'm emptied of all burdens
for this brief moment
I'm at peace, sublime, profound
wrapped in the soft surge
before undertow returns—
dragging me below again
yet if I give in
let the current carry me
not fight its embrace
it cradles me in its foam —
to drift alone in its stride
sea and self converge
with no edge lying between
woe betide and me —
I can uncover and learn
that I and water are one
