Ocean on my Back 

The waves rose
Crested
Crashed in a spray of cold foam

Now the ocean on my back feels calm to the touch
Smoother sailing for them all
But everything still flows down here 
Where I shiver beneath them

On the other side
I hope some can get where they need
Or where they’re needed  

May those who pass over me
Riding my gentle currents
Find their haven shore
