Dream: Healing the Inner Child

my dream body walked the shore of the sea

and picked up infant me

looked down at the tiny being

with awe and fear and curiosity

and held the child warmly and close to her breast

heart burst open

we dissipated,

dissolved into the ether

atom by atom

not different from the sand beneath our feet

that disintegrates from between the toes

with each claiming wave
