Writing and Photography by Jeff E. Brown

You’re nearly weightless,
Drifting with the night’s current.

The absence of noise
Soothes you as you are carried
To a blue, milky seabed-
Shallow and rocky.

You stand at last in the lapping water.
Standing silent and free
With no expectations and no place to be.
