you wander alone but loneliness is forgotten
you see perfection as a mirage across the ionian sea
there are ripples where the sun meets the moon
“more please?” you ask
“more what?” she answers
“more ripples, more oceans, more places, more” you say
“there will always be more” she reminds you
as she starts to reveal herself
you are comforted by her contradictions
when the two eyes meet the energy runs deep
an instant connection
you start to feel your shoulders ease
people take notice, they speak with kindness
“an iced latte, please” you ask
“wait, you promised me quality time”, she reminds you
distractions feel safe
you are smarter than you think
your heart reminds you of your agreement
you pause, you know what to do
one step, two steps, three steps
one stroke, two strokes, three strokes
one word, one sentence, one paragraph
you pause, is it enough?
this time, you listen closely
the mountains, they whisper
one foot in front of the other, where salt meets its stone
one step now, a mountain conquered
your beauty discovered
one arm in front of the other, where there the sunrises the sunsets
one stroke, now an ocean revealed
your vision illuminates
one word after another, where doubts disappear into the horizon
one sentence now a story shared
you’re an artist now
“where salt meets its stone, one step now, a mountain conquered your beauty discovered”
slowly exploring
