An Ocean of Insecurity

Waves of insecurity

Crashing over me

Gasping for a moment

Of identity

~

Breathing in

The air of wholeness

Feet searching

For solid ground

~

Wave after wave

Seemingly unending

Ripples of voices

Long gone

~

Surrendering to the deluge

Only to discover

I float

~

Balancing on the waves

Breathing in deep

No longer gasping

~

Feeling my body

Taking control

Guiding myself

To the foundation at the shore

~

Finding my footing

Digging my toes

Into the earth

Planting seeds

Growing roots

~

Step after step

Shedding perceptions

Releasing ideas

Stepping into security

~

Basking in freedom

Smiling in knowing

The fullness of who I am

Expanding

~

Never again

Submerging myself

In the oceans

You create
