faith
for keeps
until it sleeps
the assiduity of an addict
from compulsive to sober
or otherwise
a fistful
of sand
will not stay
the breakers roar
the shore
self assured
the sun
is shining
a spark in the ocean
footsteps washed ashore
from across
the oceans
this is the moment
you don’t remember to
have longed for
a voice
in your head
long shutout
