the waters of the shoreline say
beloved you are not alone
we are with you
when others say: you are too broken, too wounded and not enough
the ebb and flow of the waters on the shoreline say
enough, beloved. enough.
when they say: you are too fat, child.
too queer, child.
the shoreline is here to remind you child
you are beautiful
every ebb and flow of the waters against the shoreline
are here to remind you child
you are so loved
you are so beautiful
and you are never alone,
ever.
