Emergence

Out of the storm

Tempted to sleep through the downpour

of salt water under parched pink clouds

of lithium powder and sunset blues,

I arose.

No longer hiding from the angry storms,

I stretch out naked on the shore, exposed

to the rain and sun amidst baptisms of 

salt and sand.

Cleansed of sin as I anoint my own brow,

before the infinite White waves, changing 

with the rise and fall of so much hot air,

I stand.

The sun emerges from behind the tempest

like a shipwrecked man on a strange shore

without solid ground, building on pebbles.

I feel free

Wonderfully done. The words used and the flow created a vivid imagery and gave great emotion to the piece. I felt peaceful as I read this, as if, I to where there in the sand, free of all woes and worries. Just the pureness of the nature around me.

Again, great job.

Magic woven in metaphor, you journey us to the sea's storm and soul's release. Profoundly moving!

I stretch out naked on the shore exposed, cleansed of sin I stand. I was tempted to sleep through the downpour of saltwater under parched pink clouds but now I no longer hide, I am free. Wonderful write!
