I touch land on a tiny island
Exhausted I am
It was a long outrageous swim
I am not a good swimmer
There was wild life and matter around me
Plants garbage rotten nets
Great sharks and turtles
Playing dolphins peaceful wales
I am small no more
Currents pushed me
Nights full of cold long dark
Days burning sun and salt in me
Me drying out full of water
Now I sit
I breathe
I only see water and sky
I only hear waves and winds
Birds circle around my head
Chirping loud sharp noises in ever higher vibrations
A seagull free-falls dives deep down into the blue
Jumps out of the water climbing high swallowing celebrating
What a feast it is
I find a coconut on the beach
I crack it open with a stone and drink its water
I lay down to rest
I am finally here
Shall I go back into that wild, savage, stormy, cold, scary, deep, dark and lonely ocean
Or shall I stay?
