tossed about

a bit seasick on the waves of life this morning. clinging fiercely to my piece of driftwood, the word made flesh. i am young, should i suffer like this? i am young . . . do i even know what suffering is? i sense the movement of tectonic plates on the seafloor of my soul. how will this change the surface?

this mermaid is finding her voice
wanting to wake up in a new place,
with a new heart and a new song.

rolling endlessly over on the tide of this love, face white with fear, knuckles white with hope. there is no giving up at this latitude. there is only the merciful swell, the noontide sun, the sound of water on my shoulder, and holding on. there is only this, and the knowing, and you.

AND there's an albatross being battered about by the wind, high in the sky on alabaster wings....telling you that land isn't far,

love you and your broken bits and the broken bits that are being made whole once again.

Love,
Besterton

so shall we say "surf forward" instead? that sounds much more fun than walking.

and there's probably a crazy cheering section on the shore dressed in classic cheerleading gear, not prepared for the weather, telling you that you can do it. ('yaaaaay she!!! gimme an s....')
