I took a trip along the western coast,

To find out if I could fall off of the highway.

I drove through deep, lush, ever-swaying valleys,

Listening as the wind kissed my ears.

I drove across high peaks of rigid red mountains,

Feeling the rush of freezing forgiveness.

I drove above the vast blue mass of ocean.

The water that I would eventually drown in

Was not this,

But my own self.

I reached into the void and my fist retracted holding a man

With blonde curly hair, blue eyes, and a smile.

I held him up next to the brightest star in the sky and the world still looked at him.

His name is Levi.

Levi has God inside of him.

So, I threw him back to the red sea full of gray, hateful sharks.

I hurt him out of desperation.

I stood there.

His gaze shifted to me for a moment.

Then returned to God.

I was stuck in the doorway, waiting for something that I'm not sure will ever happen.

I tore my feet from the mud and burst through the door.

Now he doesn't look my way anymore.

My only hope is that somewhere between falling into the sea,

And the sea inside of me,

He found a way to realize

All that I could be.
