There’s a feeling I wish to let go.
It finds its way to the surface,
Pushing me down to the depths.
It often feels like drowning, like sinking, like I can’t even stand.
Almost as though the ground –
Cannot hold me up, let alone itself.
It’s shifting, forever changing,
It’s like a walk on the beach,
That is, if you were in your nightmares.
Where the waves are crashing,
Threatening to pull you in the deep.
With a storm raging overhead,
Teasing you with the sound of thunder.
Lightening striking, inches from your feet.
And then, there’s you, standing…
Naked – Exposed, wishing for a hug.
A hand, a desire for help.
But it’s just you,
&amp;there was never anyone else.
