An Experiment in Existence

I went back there today.
To the place that doesn't exist.
It left, never to return
but may come back one day
on the strength of hope.

I saw the things that once were
but aren't.
I observe the cycle of life
drifting in and out of existence.
I watch a plant grow
while another fades away.

Soon the waters will turn
and I must go.
But the rain will stop
and the tides will subside
and the tsunamis will shrink
until they are peaceful waves.

When this happens,
I will be prepared
and surf into shore on the waves
where the sanctuary will be back
waiting with a life renewed
and a strength unmatched.
