I Returned To the Sea

I can smell the wind in my face Salt air in my mouth-my skin I become the other world I am in; Walking against the breeze as it grows But nobody knows or gives two crows.. That's OK self conceit is in faded retreat. Birds dive, their calls reaching my ears An orange sphere eclipses all that is near Blindingly bright~ on the edge of night I walk west~sun setting as if in jest I smell lush salty wind invade my chest I chase the reality to bask in finality... I look at this beautiful place A saving grace~what a beautiful face~ How I distaste what's left of the race, Leaving in its trace a waste..an infertile place. I feel salty air tickle my nose~ Feel the sand slip through my toes~ Walking against the ocean breeze One last pose before god only knows; I go to my knees, look out at the seas Birds dives and weave, sit upon the trees. I sit awhile and contemplate as I smile At oceans edge I take in all that I hear The orange sphere eclipsing all that is near I walk due west, sun setting as if in jest Feet and mind never stopping to think or rest Quiet determination defeating loud lethargy I slip into liquid effigy Oops too late, I am not here to see Dark vertigo becomes the wet indigo of me The deep blue sea.
