i can't look away
i'm mesmerized.
the deep blue of the ocean is engulfing.
the mistral skips over the waves
creating patterns with the currents m.
i can't look away.
i feel like i should,
but I can't.
the ocean calls me
should I go?
the ocean calls
or is it just a song?
from afar it looks so gentle
the wind playing with the waves.
but come up close
the wind whips through my hair
hissing in my ears.
the pulsing of the waves
like the best of a drum
counting down the seconds.
betting, will she come?
the water freezes my toes
but the voice of the ocean whispers through the wind.
the laughs of the children in the beach almost make me turn
but the seagulls are calling.
they rise up in a gust of wind
and fly around me
promising to keep me safe.
i can't hold it in any longer.
the voice of my heart reaches out to the sea.
the water isn't cold anymore.
the wind has silenced.
the bubbles escape from my mouth
and dance slowly to the surface.
i don't follow.
this new world is full of mysteries,
lifetimes to explore.
