Sofia Fariole
I surrender breathlessly
To summer’s embrace
Rays of light
Brushing my face
Pillow-soft sand
A stowaway in my swimsuit
Cooking in the sun
Burning my feet
I run to the water
Seashells slicing each stride
Wind whipping my hair
A breathless ambition
I fall apart
As I reach the ocean
Diving down
In one swift motion
I let the sea
Swallow my soul
To drown out the world
I surrender control
