RELIEF

Glory comes in waves.
I let my sands of fear be washed
towards the sea of undoubt
It is like dancing the reggae
after the crashing of waves at shore:
I am high
from the ecstasy
of seeing waters recede,
bringing along with it the weight of my beach.
I lie on the sand newly brought in
and they are from other beaches, other shores,
and are lighter, happier than my sands.
I can dance all night for my fears are being washed away
and calm takes its place.
Aloha.
