Tidal

Standing face to face with waves
The depth of the whole ocean
Time alloted me for only one brief moment of reflection but
I was left standing, 
over and over…
Freed from my concerns of drowning
How can I describe the peace
Of weight
Enlightening and confounding 
Of a wash of water welcoming me
One quadrillion gallons deep and how
The saturate salt of the great seas soothes the weals that life can leave
How it sweeps me up and holds me high
How it tears the sunshine into beams
Of cold and dancing silver glitter
Bubbles burst and spray the skin
Crystalline shimmer craft organic-ish by solar glint
