“as i step my bare self into the sea
i have a calmness wash over me
the salt i feel sting my scar
it reminds that i have come far
the sand grazing against my feet
this is where myself i meet
i am naked, exposed and feel each touch
i am alive and free this means so much
the sharpness of the cold makes me gasp
it’s time to loosen my grasp
i breathe in deep to the depth of my soul
letting go of all control
relaxing my muscles as i lower myself in
feeling the waves wash over my skin
i can feel every sense expand
the seaweed wrapping around my toe in the sand
i’m immersed with this incredible force
this is taking me back to source
my mind softens and as i float away
this is truly a wonderful day”
