The First Ride of Many
Sail to the soul-
on a raft meant for shallow waters,
and when the tide takes over-
thank it for destroying your ship,
thank it for swallowing your supplies,
thank it for burying you,
lonesome,
beneath the waves of your Self.
Succumb to the sea of You.
Sail to the soul-
and then
absolutely drown in it.
-Hani Khēmeia
