AWAITING

Sometimes 
I choose to skim the surface of the sea 
Letting the waves pass me by 
Soaking in the sun's energy 
While the winds cool my soggy skin 
I watch the diamond sparkles 
Over gentle ripples

On the shifting crust of destiny 
I just lie still 
And let myself breathe 

Its a gathering up of scraps 
Torn loose in the anxious storms 
A putting them all together 
Just how they need to be 
Until I'm whole enough again 
To dive 
Right into the unknown depths 
Where infinite beauty lives 
To swim around among sharks 
Lungs bursting 
Feet thrusting 
Playing with jewel toned treasures 
Reveling in their countless colours 
Letting love come and find me 
In spectacular serendipity
