letting go

If you don't become the ocean, you'll be seasick every day"
~Leonard Cohen

to become the ocean, she had to let go of all resistances

diving into the icy blue harbor
she felt her self
becoming
more whole

allowing resistance
to leave
she was able to dive
more deeply

becoming more fluid
her soul swept
the ocean floor
with the greatest peace

coming up for air
she realized, and began
to own her infinite
amphibious nature

she celebrated her wholeness
in water, air,
and upon
the sacred earth

she touched softly
and walked upon--
within her inborn freedom,
and steely strength
