my writer soul splits my life
my heart and mind
clashing like the sea and the land
the fine line in between fractal and ever changing
i find myself
standing strong in the sand
crushed by a big kahuna
slipping on wet rock
caressed by the fizz of foam
the want to stay afloat rips
as waves slam me ashore
the light wins over the dark
the need to find my footing grazes
as currents pull me under
the dark steals the light
i leave my skin behind
will the surf to touch my nerves
and meld me before i drown
