dance among the wavelengths

It was watch­ing the liq­uid crash as waves, shat­tered bits mir­ror­ing me, re­flects jour­neys from years ago and who was – who is now look­ing into that re­flec­tion? It had a mind of its own sweep­ing away but be­ing pushed back once more, al­most like it want­ed an­oth­er look.

I spend too much time fo­cus­ing my eye onto the re­flec­tion of my own eyes in my sun­glass­es, grasp­ing the air as my brain wires to­geth­er sen­tences to de­scribe the touch, the fab­ric of it – my hand al­ways turns up emp­ty – but I swear, it only seeps through, leav­ing no trace.

It was the first time I touched the Pa­cif­ic Ocean.

I ran down not with much words and not with look­ing back.

I spent some time read­ing my words from the past months and my out­look on my life. It’s car­ried me out and brought me back home once more. Sal­va­tion lands not in the shore or the waves but the mind the body car­ries.

It’s a beau­ti­ful place to ex­ist in this mind where I’ve found peace again. With­in the sea I feel my­self drop­ping into the stars at the place the oceans meets the sky. Float­ing into the new jour­ney to come in the realm where I al­ways dream will bring life to this re­al­i­ty at my feet.

A phone call says, ‘it’s a sen­tence I have to pay.’

And it’s the one you set, so how long will you pay?

When will we just be cusped by the stars,
                                        when will we be set free to dance among the wave­lengths, when?
