Harp Of The Ocean

The harp of the ocean ruptures the skin,
blood mingling but sharks do not attack. 
Letting sea salt heal all that is within,
finally you are clean feeling blue-black.
Bioluminescence hits with a smack, 
dabs of glitter sparkle coating your hair.
With an image harnessing debonair,
a rhythm dances with the rising tide.
Unable to turn from it’s feisty flare,
wild desire to submerge will not subside.
