Blue Embrace


I am falling into fathomless sea waves 
enfolding me in a blue embrace
where swirls of ultra-marine
turquoise and cobalt crash and surge
and I am lost, so lost in the roar 
then, suddenly I find myself
looking into your deep blue eyes
feeling like I have journeyed the seven seas
and have now found my safe harbor
