to venture out past the breakers –

find that water – calm.

float with the tide toward dawn…

to feel the wind against my back.

let the current carry me away.

to greet the sunrise –

face to face.

no fear of retribution –

no remorse for nights demise…

to reach right out –

when one with the horizon –

touch the very face –

of God…

(in dreams i find the paradise

my waking mind can’t see.

my open eyes too used to darkness –

my heart too broken – to believe.)
