Snaps of the Soul

Saudade

A shiver runs down my spine
As a cool breeze gently holds me;
The soft whistle of the wind - almost divine,
Yet chilling, urges me to flee.

Panicked, I look around and over
The mounds of sand and beyond the Sun;
The waves build up and maneuver,
Towards me and I start to run

Stumbling over myself, I bolt,
Trying to outrun the waves and it's spell,
But in vain, for I feel a jolt
Vibrate through me as I fell

Eyes squeezed shut, arms flailing,
I wait to feel the ocean's cold, hard ground;
Instead, I feel the soft and calming
Touch of the waves as it wraps around

I relax and let myself feel
The soothing powers of the ocean
And assume that its powers can heal
As I let down my guard in passion.

The more I relax, the more turbulent
The ocean gets – roiling from deep inside;
Curious, I sink deeper towards the pearlescent
Glow of the ocean's heart, unsuspecting of a downside.

The moment I reach the ethereal glow,
An earsplitting shriek reverberates throughout
The ocean's once strong walls, but now so weak and hollow,
Destroys us, and leaves behind a trail of debris from the blowout

Desperately, I grasp at the receding water
As they become increasingly cold to the touch;
But it slips away, and I falter,
Yet, I never learn much.

When the ocean again welcomes me,
I rush to it in haste,
Only to be shut out with a plea -
"Leave... for you deserve much more than the ocean's embrace."
