Reshaping me
On the beaches of my mind
Waves of thoughts wash ashore ceaselessly
Some carry away grains of self
Some deposit residue of worldly desire
Others hollow out my ever shifting identity
Just enough to create tidal pools
That shimmer in reflected glory
Hold a bit of the sky
To know it's vastness by comparison
Ever changing , ever shaping , re-shaping
My image of myself
As I pray, that I may
In losing my self , grain by grain
Reshaping what remains
To offer solace to another's pain
Will one day reach the depths
Of the ocean
The stillness of my heart
To know myself
As you.
