| . | When my tears refuse to obey my pain When they are deaf to my screams I seek refuge My body seeks refuge Without my consent I shrink inward I dissolve within my shell until I am a thousand miles away When I reach my destination, it doesn't hurt. I realize this miracle and amuse myself by allowing my consciousness to role in waves Huge, beautiful waves, which crash harder and nearer to the shore of reality, of realization. And then, the shore that I feared so, the one which seemed to bring my anguish and fear - Is Miraculous. Beauty beyond beauty. I relish each arrival Until my journey ends And I am drawn reluctantly back And finally my tears come, And I Am Alive.
