New Day

The sea drowns its ancient secrets
The surf washes fears away
The mist clears to unveil
The hope of a bright new day

In the clearing a vision comes
A woman resolved, standing proud
She swam through the cleansing tide
Despite the roar that echoed loud

She stands there now, dry as sand
Sparkling in the sun
her smile sings with a weightlessness
That tells the past is gone
