P. 51
Go There
The ocean.
I go there to seek solace, comfort...
to escape
when I realize life’s trivialities have begun to infringe upon my peace of mind.
Waves
heaved onto the shore, are instantly diminished. They parallel my anxiety as it is diminished when I go there.
There are days when I crave the sensation
of the warm sand shifting beneath my feet as I walk slowly breathing in salt air
as though it were medicine to heal the wounds
I have inside.
Days like today
I yearn to gaze at the horizon where the ocean meets the sky, the place where only hues of blues differentiate them
in the distance.
Responsibilities, obligations, life prevent me from bringing myself where I know I need to be.
