Adrift

There is a dream I keep having

I am adrift upon the seas

Water lapping against my face softly

It caresses me steering my body to places unknown

Cold liquid covers and seeps into my ears muffling worldly static

I find peace in this release of control

Now I am the shore

No longer adrift floating where the wind blows

I am the rock upon which the seas break

Foaming and angry

Relentless with their assault

A pillar to break the waves

But I am wearing away

The ocean has raged against me for so many years

Throwing debris breaking and grinding

How much longer can I stand

Before I too am reduced to a grain of sand.
