Solace by Demetra Fisher

He washes over me
Like the surf on the sand
With waves of emotion
Leaving me clean and smooth
Wanting to begin anew.

I am bathed in courage
Hopeful for better days
To be spent with laughter
Without being trapped by fear,
My tears wiped away.

As I plan my escape
I can’t help but dream
Of a time I will be free
To be with he who truly sees me
For the person I am.

Until that day comes
I am held by patience
As my aspirations soar
I know my life will change
As it was meant to be.

And I take comfort in that knowledge.
