A Wave

Like the wave that reached my feet

When I had been a slave to my inner beast

I wouldn’t let myself sink either,

or sail


Black-and-white stormy beach with crashing waves under dark clouds, a moody shoreline and distant surf.

I wouldn’t let myself win either,

or fail

I was numb

frozen by my insecurities

I was stuck

paralysed by my footprints

I neither had the power to erase

nor the courage to move.


One day

The wave reached my feet.

It pulled me inside

knowing I was immobile

It is not easy to see through the blues.

My only options were to float, dive, or exist.

It instilled in me the courage to move forward.

Even if it meant engulfing the whole world.
