I am sitting inside this sea shell listening
To the waves that crash upon the shores,
Being taken out of my comfortable nest
As I breathe easily, softly, slowly and rest.

Breathing in the light let it swamp the dark
I count the few seconds as I hold my breath
They pass almost unnoticed but do they pass
I hold up my hand that heals my brow at last.

I listen for the soft voice waiting for the sun
It reaches my ears as the healing has begun
Walking a path to take me away from the pain
No looking over my shoulder no never again.

My thoughts merge with watery power of waves
The sound of the collisions I can always save
Locked away in my mind as I imagine light
Take a hand as I am becoming a love alike.

Waves within waves surge through my veins
I sit inside an echo chamber that explains
Where time was tied up, was thrown away;
These waves are my friends now every day.

Casting aside the shell that has surrounded me 
I am relieved that I have connected really
With me, the shell was my own invention
It was made to hold me to my intention.
