Learning To Swim and Letting Go

Photo by 7inchs on Pexels.

Dark waters and barely afloat.

You a friend swim by and mock me.

Wreckage drifting in the dark.

Murky blue like your ghost eyes.

Pale now a cold grip brings back the the memory of you and the waves crash.

Waves crash.

In the middle of a vast ocean, I hold on.

Cast aside.

You watch me flounder yet, still floating.

Here I learn to swim.

Here I find breath and take rest.

Here I learn to let go and find refuge, a distant shore. The love I have is the love that resides deep inside.

Letting go I find still waters and solid ground.

A heart beats and fire burns.

Returning to life a stillness softens and the morning light caresses and holds me.

This is love.
