through my heart

breathing through my heart
i hear the waves breaking
with every exhale
sitting in my thoughts
sitting with the sound of the ocean
my find flushes warm
my skin bristles in this breeze
birds fly before me
the smell of surf and sand
all things are evaporating in this air
coalesce and fly apart
swirling
swirling
until only a whisper of what was remains
and now it’s gone too
released from this moment to the next
we are free
