TRUST

Today...
I walked the beach.
Houses that were beautiful
to my right,
the ocean to my left.

I thought to myself
how nice it would be
if I had a house I could live in...
As I observed them in their majesty.

I looked back at the sea
and it seemed to say to me...
How nice is the home you do live in.

Vast..

Unconfined...

Freedom...

a mansion…

Rich...perfumed.

Many, many rooms.

Cry if you need.

Sleep if you must.

Eat if you are hungry.

Bathe.

Trust.
