Here is my breath

Ice water strikes warm blood

Veins sizzling, steam rising with the sun

Waves tumble me

Salt water in my mouth

Laughing, I whoop and plunge

Exhilarated

Like a child

Over and over

The waves scoop

Carry me up, over, under

Weightless and free

Body rendered sprite

Effortlessly

Sea foam womb

A mothers embrace

Sun bursts from the cloud

Golden sparkles plume

Beauty

Steals my breath

She can have it

A small repayment

For such wonderment

*and what a perfect death it would be..or transition perhaps, a far better word.

  1. Transition…beautiful, my friend. A few weeks ago my best friend from college visited. Shockingly, she planned a trip for us to the beach in September. It’s been 10 years since I visited the beach, Kate. I’m going to read this again while there. Mountains and rivers move me. The ocean will give as much healing, I believe. I’ll surrender. Thank you for the gift of …you. X💕

    • Thankyou Karla. The ocean, the trees, the river and the mountains all offer different forms of medicine I believe. The salt and minerals, oxygen and vitamins that drift on the air and enter our skin and nervous system delivering a method of healing that we cannot access any other way. I am so glad your friend is taking you to the ocean – swim! 💕

      • You’re welcome, Kate. Our thoughts and perspectives are coiled and connected. I will swim! YES! HEALING! 💕🤗
