Life is an Ocean

Life is an Ocean. 
There are days when the waves swallow us, 
we tumble around, 
drowning in the darkness, praying for a glimpse
of light, for sweet breath
​of precious life. 
And there are days like today, 
when breath is delivered, 
and I stand in gratitude 
at the shore, deeply humbled 
at the power of the sea. 
And alas, I can see, from here, 
the whole vast, interconnected waters of life flowing perfectly, 
and I am held as a precious drop, 
and as the Ocean Herself.
