The waves lift me to my sky
So the sun may soak me in.
We dance.
And I wonder, where have I been?
When did I forget that we co-create?
And the moon is my mother
And my sister
And I came for this moment.
Now I may face the waves
My womb illuminating the journey
Each stroke a declaration of freedom.
Each wave carrying me home.
