Evaporation

With patience and good intention, the ocean and fear can share one thing: evaporation.

Evaporation

Water abides
    in the ocean,
like wisdom in
    joy and patience.

Waves abound
    with life
when the tide
    returns to the sea.

Horizons
  all around me,
sometimes fill
  with clouds.

Dark clouds
  from the sea,
feeding me and
  all the rivers.

Horizons
    all around me,
the start and end
    of intention:

As long as
    the sea endures,
may I be here
    for all,

within this
    empty ocean,
drying
    trepidation.
