Hilde Heskett
She stares at her reflection.
Not alone.
Here it’s calm, 
peaceful, 
connected, 
the waves; the ripples.

There’s something special here.

So take this moment and taste it 
together,
In harmony,
In good company.

Here there’s an unbreakable bond.
Togetherness that’s deafening, 
but floating in the water it’s silent.
It's everything but nothing at all. 
Gliding through the water there is peace.

It’s all okay.

The ocean may be expansive, 
but no matter how far she travels, she will always find her home.
