trying to wind down
from all the buzzing noise in the world
the wind on top
the water down under
floating
if only for a little while
to shut off and just be
one with nature
one with me
remembering what happened yesterday
no!
drops from crashing waves splash onto my face
interrupting my attempt to detach and connect
hearing the hollow sounds the ocean carries
feeling the fiery warmth the sun radiates
smelling the salt from the ocean breeze
seeing the sun's light through closed eyes
floating
no!
touching something unfamiliar and oddly squishy
hoping it's just a piece of seaweed on the loose
what if
what is isn't
what can can't
what will won't
too many choices to make
too few truly important
wondering what will happen tomorrow
no!
legs and torso are slowly folding
starting to sink
taking a deep breath in
to keep floating
stretching my limbs, making myself big
so that the waves keep carrying me
absorbing what is happening in the moment
trying to wind down
from all the buzzing noise in the world
the wind on top
the water down under
Although I'm floating
I'm feeling a little more down to earth again
