The Opponent

Who knew the strongest
opponent was you?
that the deepest strike
came from your own knife?
That the highest tide
rose from your own ocean,
where you bled
into your own sea.
That you’d need to learn
how to calm
your own waves,
clear the sea
of your own garbage,
let go of the things
you mistook for gold.
That you’d have to learn
new currents,
marking rocks to guide
the boats
passing through.
But you’re a strong swimmer
you rose through the waves
and found harmony
within your own sea.
Now
it sparkles
clear blue.
