A Good Little Girls Zine

In the Distance

I coast softly with the wind,

towards shore.

Sunlight holds me up; moonlight towing me in.

A vast ocean of rights and wrongs behind me: the lessons I’ve learned at every island.

I gaze back at the miles of green-blue waters and know I can rely on one constant and it’s the waves–

Some let me ride them to new destinations;  some sweep me off my feet, pulling me under.

I drift into shore soon, so I better enjoy the ride.
