INTO THE WAVES

Today, I came prepared.
For days the sea has slammed me with raging waves.
One after one.

Today, the words I read were hard to understand.
A message from a thousand years ago.
A few pages.
Done so fast.
Little did I know, 
My soul was reading a lot more.

Now, I can hear the sea.
Asking, what did I come for?
Alone in the raging waters,
The sea demanded: 
Identify yourself!
It wanted to know.
I didn’t have the answers, I thought.
But my soul spoke.
The words of our long training, from before.
The words of the “Shahada” in my core,
Singing in my mind,
With love and joy, 
Enough to fill the whole world.
The sea gave back,
Love and softness.

The calm waters attracted the crowd in.
Those who came close, made me smile and joke.
I felt so loved by the sea.
I couldn’t step out and go.
For hours the sea spoke,
Wanting to teach me,
Something that it knows.
I will need it, where I will go.
Those who warn that the sea has no friends,
I don’t believe them anymore.
