I was reading Lexy's journal and came across this that she wrote a long while ago...

Aleinu
Sands of hell
scorch my feet
and I tread quickly
to the redeeming waters.
Carefully spreading a towel
I first kneel then sit,
faceless to the ocean
and confess my soul.
The waves talk back at me;
A sound response from God.
Shedding my clothes
like my sins
I step through the damp
to test the waters,
running knees-high
then diving under
the first churning wave,
cleansed and refreshed.
Paddling out past the breakers
I get knocked back
but between sets
there is calm.
I reach my destination
and there I wait
beyond the white-wash.
Ever searching and
waiting and readying
for whatever is out there,
riding the high and low
of each swell
till my own comes for me
to carry me to shore.
