Oceans Sailed

The Oceans sailed I drove down to the coast today, could feel it pull after all I was in the navy for 30 years and the oceans treated me well not letting my ship sink, drowning me. The sea was grey/blue a monster asleep, yet not to be trusted the marina was full of motor boats or shall we call them yachts? They all looked alike made of plastic **** used for summer weather only. I was not a good seafarer didn`t like to sit in a mess hall playing cards, but I could sit for hours watching how the beast breathed in and out and on stormy weather found a place on the deck just to see it rage. Farewell my oceans I will not see you again nor shall I miss you a lover that holds no secrets in her embrace but death.
