wealth

to think

that only moments ago

i was bereft

weeping into empty hands

to think 

that i am so rich

only minutes ago

i cried at the hope

of ever laughing again

i ached for the touch

of a child

and now

i ache with the joy

arms overflowing

and wide open

the Call California

i am standing in the sea

we are the waves

You are the wind

when You breathe

we move as one

wave upon wave upon wave

and the shore is eroding

we win, because You win

there's a shift in the sand

something changed

and i was a part
