Ocean Potion

Ocean potion healing elixir weightless floating free
Unlinked From chains of heavy burden where One can finally breath 
Out the old and in the new rejuvenate the mind 
cleansing body , close your eyes , pretend that you are blind . 
Just Listen , smell and feel it’s movement caressing rhythmic motions 
cradles with a mother’s touch , tender loves devotion 

Wind sings and with it brings cool breath upon the face 
lullaby waves, in secret bays pave the way to her embrace 

Hypnotic temptress casts her spells 
docile waves of turquoise swell  
Time stands still induced in coma 
take in salty airs aroma 

Sleeping in a wake full state 
lucid dreaming devoid of fate 
As light as nothing, unconstrained 
Letting go colossal pain 

Fresh breeze comes to tease
but  just a taste before it leaves 
it toys , it plays in child like ways 
The sun beats down it’s burning rays 

performs its graceful ballet dance as light shines off glass waves 
Bewitching and seductive to all that it enslaved 

secret whispers in silent caves 
Endless depth shroud watery graves 
Of those who lost their lives long ago 
Pirates ,God’s and tales of hero’s 

Placid barbarity rules this place 
But does it with poetic grace 
Cleansed from sins of humanity
Exempt from responsibility 

A spiritual experience sets the body free
Awakened and enlightened 
Within the Sacred sea
