I woke to the sound of the ocean
waves gently rushing the shoreline
seagulls songbirds and mourning doves
for the first time in weeks
my dreams weren’t filled with angst and fret
semi-peaceful reverie
half remembered and half slipped away
details gone
the remnants of feelings
are all that remain
ambivalence
similar to when a lover leaves
a moment of missing
and a sense of relief
