Drifter

I never understood why I loved the ocean so much until last night. When I laid in bed and thought about things that I'm thinking of right now.

The ocean, the waves, the water.. they're just molecules of hydrogen and oxygen covalently bonded, moving where the winds blow, drifting where the currents take them, yet they bring me so much joy and comfort. The way that the waves crash, the way that they move about, the way that they engulf me into the unknown, how it caresses me and keeps me in its embrace; it's like saying that everything will be alright. Regardless of what the situation is; regardless of how things are going. The ocean, so vast and deep and unfathomable, it can kill but it can also give life. It awakens me to a dream that is far more hopeful and blissful than reality.. than my reality.
