Ancient Ocean's Call

Strangely, as in a hazy dream,
    I remember the joy of returning,
        of being back to a place
            I can't remember leaving,

back where I must have writhed
    in anguish with the ache to stay
        and fiercely wrestled with, then lost to
             the urge to leave and be away.

Now I hear and must heed
    the ancient Ocean's silent call
        that softly echoes in my brain,
            telling me, "I am one, I am all."
