Your New Path

Watch the storm
when emotions rise
this sea that pounds ashore
and takes away the hand.

A steady beat of rain
this ebb and flow
now pouring tears
until they touch
the drowning heart
cast upon the floor.

Now watch the waves
as they begin to crash
leaving solitude
and dark clouds behind.

A castaway - forgotten
on a torn deserted beach
a place of destitute
with rags of thought
and only your two feet.

Raise above the storm
bare your back
and forget the beating
these shadows
of a darkened moon.

Rinse your soul
and feel the warmth
as a pristine day approaches
unwinding …..
your new path.
