Beneath the Surface,2024

Beneath the hush of painted blue,

a storm once still begins to move.

She leans into the ocean's sigh,

seeking truths it will not deny.

Not waves, but questions pull her deep—who she is,

what she must keep.

Past shimmered veil and coral bend,

her layers curl but never end.

A ribbon caught,

a breath held tight,

soft colors coiled in shifting light.

This sea inside—both fierce and kind—reveals the parts she could not find.

She does not dive to simply see,

but to become what she must be.

In every fold, a self she mends,

not lost in tides, but born again.
