The smell of salt fills my lungs,
making me aware of where I am although
my eyes are closed and my arms
stretched high, my palms facing up.
My feet do not rest on the earth, but I’m
standing on the water, the expansiveness
of the ocean all around. My eyes flow with
tears, but I do not cry. I can see
the brightness of light through
my eyelids and I am covered
by the warmth of complete peace.
