i love the ocean

Crashing waves
Of a salty solitude
Wind whips at my face
But the longing cry
Of a far off whale
Urges me to remain

White water
Laps at my exposed feet
The ocean urges me
It tries to suck me in

I accept the cool embrace
Of a new home
Among the coral reef
The sand urges me deeper
Until I am engulfed

Water fills my lungs
I cannot breathe.
