The only thing darker than the sea around me is when I close my eyes.

But the lightning flashes through my eyelids… almost feels like small flickers from a flame…

I can, if only for a moment, feel its warmth…

Oh to be dry and cozy… it would be heaven…

Nirvana is more than a state of mind, it’s a resource I pull from… it exists somewhere between here and there…

The fire and the flood…
