VESSEL

Writer's picture: Surviving Breast CancerSurviving Breast Cancer

By Jerilyn Young


My body is a vessel 

Navigating ocean waves 

Pushing 

Pulling 

Flowing sensations of unknown 

Preparing for rough seas ahead 

No land in sight 

No anchor to drop 

I must become the waves ~ 

Living in their movement 

Their swells 

Their surges 

I pray to rest in the breeze of their ripples

Washing away the internal sludge

Only to be morphed back into the surf

Rising 

Falling 

Embracing the current I become a wavelet ~

Gently tossed to shore 

I feel my hands grasp tightly 

What wasn’t there 

Solid ground 

My existence
