I just want to break
like a wave
and run upon your shores,
soaking into you,
then back
into the endless sea.
Building up energy,
rolling back into myself,
releasing completely,
until there is nothing left,
and I am gone
like the tide
for a while.
Carrying a weight
is not a way to keep time.
I’d rather give mine away
and find another life.
Spread out on the beach
under an open sky,
touching the land
with my hands,
the sea with my feet,
and the sky with my eyes.
I don’t want anything
to remain.
I just want to break
like a wave,
and cover you
before I’m gone.
