With the passing of each wave, how do I calm the sea inside? Â The tide ebbs and flows, I catch my breath and sink back under. Â Where is the air, the calm, the dream of what was supposed to be, I slip back under. Â There is something there, but the light is dim and my eyes sting. Â I close my eyes to see. Â Blurry images fade, replaced with those past. Â I must open my eyes or plunge deeper into an abyss, but the pain if I do, the pain if I do…not. Â Even the clouds release their plight on an already blurred soul. Â Images can no longer be made certain or clear, the clearest through eyes squeezed tight. Â Floating, submerged, flailing, swallowing, the pain, the salty darkness invades every sense and denies anything sweeter. Â Nothing can be separated, the storm inside matches the storm prevailing all around. Â Give in or die fighting the raging sea, the choice is not as simple as it seems when there is freedom to be found on either side. Â The darkness is enduring when the light cannot break through. Â A heavy soul lost among crashing waves cannot see the stars, cannot find the light without some semblance of a break from the pain of it.

Love is lost,
can I find it?
Do I dare?
Does it find me,
but where?
