Sophia
Sophia
Upon the shore
balancing on the rocks
like a trapeze artist,
‘she’ was all around me.
Each wave
rolling over and over
spraying me—filling me with glee.
I was soaked in wonder.
We played
hide and seek.
When I caught her,
I held her knowing
I had to let go
for she could not be contained.
When ‘she’ caught me,
she embraced my soul.
She pointed me in the direction
of the sun’s light.
I was blind,
but for a moment.
I saw.
I could see what
for so long had always
been, but I could not
grasp it…
Now I held it
letting it go again and again.
She breathed her
wind through
my hair.
My being shivered
and yet I was
so warm inside.
My heart laughed
and the seagulls
chimed in—
a symphony written without notes.
Others passed by
stopping for a moment to
look…they, too, saw her.
Then Sophia rolled
in her clouds
clapping her hands
in a thunderous
roar.
I did not want to
leave, but I knew
as I waved goodbye that
she was far from gone.
