throw me into the ocean
let her swallow me whole
i will pour myself into her
until she renders me weightless
and lifts me up
in the palm of her hand
an offering to the moon and the stars
i will ride her waves
gentle ripples that rise
to torrents of violent dancing
let me be churned and
turned inside out
completely dissolved
immersed in a baptism
down to the very cells
that pulse as oceans within me
let her wash away everything
that isn't wild and bubbling
with freedom
and then
and only then
set me safely back on shore
