The Pull of the Deep

the waves are old friends
they reach out their foam fingers,
and I'm a goner.

to black and salty
to blue and endless unknown
to green and shallow

all seen beauty there-
a better home for dreamers
for sailors, for whims

blue-bellies and silver scales
rocks under storms dissuade weak,
peace, for battered souls.

(A/N: every stanza is in haiku format)
