Pain and sorrow crash like waves against the shore of my brain.  Just when I think the storm is over the waves come and crash back again.  The sand of my soul is washed away a little more every day.  I struggle to stay afloat as the water continues to rise.  Afraid to know what tomorrow holds.  I want an escape from the pain that stings my soul.  Such a contradiction~this situation.  I know that I can't stop things from happening.  It is my job to stay afloat because I cannot change the sea.  The tide continues to rise and I feel my head sinking into the wicked icy cold water.  I know I must keep coughing, keep breathing, keep living even though somedays I d rather give up and sink lifelessly to the bottom of the water.

FLOAT.  Don't fight.  Let the water of life carry you where it may.  And while you float, enjoy the stars in the night sky, close your eyes and listen to your heartbeat, and be thankful for the gift of being alive, and for the experience.  Just know whatever happens...It's going to be ok.
