At the sea
I don’t remember how I got there. The waves are breaking on my bare feet. I can’t move although I think I just ran away from something. I ran away to the sea, to the beautiful and eternally breathing sea. The respiration of the Earth.
It is breathing like I am now. I just ran and my heart is beating strong and heavy. And the sea is loud. Loud, and yet appeasing.
I can’t remember what I ran away from. I don’t want to move anymore. I am breathing more calmly now. I just know I am here, at destination, at the sea, at the beautiful and breathing sea.
