Open Arms
The ocean is beautiful
At daybreak
Calm and peaceful
A soothing turquoise
Just inviting me to
Leap in and enjoy myself
I don't do anything at first
But then I feel it coaxing me
With gentle pushes from behind
Waves softly hitting the boat
I strip off my clothing
And step up to the edge
Peering in to the inviting waters
I close my eyes, and feel the wind
I suck in a deep breath
And plunge into the tranquil waters
The water slides around me
Like shampoo oozing from it's bottle
My naked body feels cleansed
And I finally feel free
Nothing can stop me from
Living in this world
As long as look at it
Like a peaceful ocean
Always waiting for me
With open arms...
