part of the sea

Aloft in the sea, float as if flight
for the lightness of splendid air
is woven in the waters;

we reach with might and thought
for a light within us is the guide.
We glide closed eyed
upon faith in what we feel.

There is no indifference
to the caress of waves and swirl, for
we are part of the sea
and it keeps us in its arms.

The fear of falling is lost
upon billows that urge us onward
that remind that we are forever
in the peace we make...
in the enduring powers of tide and flow.
We are forever in the present
the past is the wake behind our fluttered feet;
the whirled curls after spent pulls of arms.

They pass to send us onward,
into moments reached for,
breath yet on our lips, and
love yet to be lived...
