The
ocean
open its arms to me, comforting
in its thunderous exclamations of love: “come to my
foaming embrace and I will carry you, fragile
one”, it caws through the
beaks of ravenous seagulls circling with beady
eyes,
searching
for the breadcrumbs of your desire.
Its sand-dollar shores beckon you to search and discover,
to wander aimlessly like a child again and
ignore the salt biting fresh
wounds. The shimmering pebbles draw you to
gently
ro l l i n g
arms; “wade deeper, deeper”, the ocean
sings, “and I will rock you like a baby
as the tide creeps in. Come to me,
fragile one, and I will
never let you fall”. The ocean opens
its
arms
to you, comforting in its thunderous
exclamations of love: its roars and rocks, but you
are unafraid. You let it carry you as
you float among the stars.
