Paradise found
Big feelings in California,
Bigger feelings in Florida..
A series of compounding difficult feels I’ve never felt before..
I surrendered to them like an unexpected set of big waves when you’re paddling out past the break..
Knocked off my block & put on tumble dry..
I let it take me down too long knowing it’d spit me back out in time..
In time to take one deep breath before the next..
(“I just go in with a whirl and come out with a swirl. I do not resist the water,
I entirely identify myself with water.”,
until)
dry land,
Paradise found.
