Sedative Sea

The sea is always calling,
Reminding
Of its cold and salty waves
Calming, 
Soothing with the breeze,
Lightly sedating.

Until the waves start changing
With the wind storming,
Clouds thundering,
Before life strikes with lighting,
While the scene is not yet darkening
Leaving me detached, confusing,
I wish for the sea to remain calming -
Without its chaos entwining,
Waves overpowering
Silence dissolving and 
The tide tangling,
Again and again reflecting
A life in ruins splitting
As serenity in a storm is fading.

But then it comes again
Always calling,
Reminding
Of its cold and salty waves
Calming, 
Soothing with the breeze…
Until the waves 
Start changing again.
