I flow like waves onto the land, Every voice dissolves in me, I touch the shore and feel the sand, Until my tide turns quietly. Below the surface I awake, To drift into a lucid dream, A quiet breath I finally take, Returning to my hidden stream. It wraps around me, safe and deep, A place so familiar and so true, A sacred space I get to keep, Where I slowly can renew. I touch the sand, and I retreat. I touch the sand, and I retreat. Once more I meet the waiting shore, The distant voices welcome me, I will continue to explore, As far as my eyes can see. The current shifts beneath my feet, It pulls me back to deeper ground, I feel the need to retreat, floating where rest can be found. I touch the sand, and I retreat. I touch the sand, and I retreat. No tide can rise without retreat, I need that stillness in my core, To gather what the waves deplete, Before I rise again to meet the shore. I touch the sand, and I retreat. © Artanne - 2026
