Wave

Please wave,

push me hard,

wash the strain away

drain distrust on my way

Put the struggle down,

make it fade

mold it with another clay

And leave it plain and still,

virgin again to dry

nothing to dismay

Please ocean breeze

fill my lungs

with your forceful peace

Make the spine shiver,

the blood boil

and let the flesh squeeze

I want to release

Like octopus in a dark gorge,

a flower in the sun, a baby conceived in peace

All of this is sprouting from my chest

I already feel

its powerful grace and persistent quest

It will push me to the other side

while I stay still,

nothing to fight, nothing to hide,

just opening my chest wide
