Each moment passed me like ocean waves,
I remain still. Static.
As you call me to shores, and sunsets,
to every beautiful moment to face my fear of drowning.
You ask me to look down from mountain tops
down into vast canyons
to swim in lit underground caverns
to remind myself I’m still alive.
You ask me to take pictures
where the light overlaps and entwines
from perspectives only my eyes can see.
Where aether bleeds into heart.
Reminding me that a hardened heart
doesn’t look good on me.
You remind me that I’m strong,
You remind me to love again.
