Pulling a doll part

Tonight I felt a longing like the power of the ocean's tide pulling the water from a river, drawing it from the farthest mountain top, to the shore... pulling

...blood through my veins, breath through my skin, through my bones, from the outside in, energy drawn from my heart... down... to pour myself into love's ocean.
