2020: Dear Ocean excerpts

Updated: Oct 17, 2023



Salty

For the betrayal + pain,

every moment that felt unfair-


In memory of past trauma,

every emotion that felt uneasy-


Your voice was sweeter,

the calling was greater.





Deep

I felt ending in beginning,

Standing still, somehow moved.


Footprints of emotions,

Left me drowning at shore.





Humbled

I saw the beauty in your crashing waves,

Against the rocks, my soul's rhythm awaken-

I AM reminded that you are one,

I AM MOANA, Pola's seed.
