The water crashes into the sides of the ship trying to make itself noticed, yet it does nothing to move the strong vessel. Rays of sunlight blaze down onto the hoards of people enjoying the first day of Summer at the boardwalk. I pull the hair tie from my wrist securing my hair into a high ponytail. People surround me all moving for different purposes. Parties. Swimming. Work. Just a day off. I continue to propel myself forward going in the direction of the ship. I listen for the sounds of the sea, how the waves manage to continuously flow together yet be so random. This constant image resonates in my head, creating a sort of rhythm as I walk. Eventually I am there and I look out as far as the water will go until it reaches the sky. That is where I will be and more. On the ship far, far away.
