The Ocean

a midnights trip to ocean’s shore breaking waves, their mighty roar. The refreshing air I breathe in sips tasting its bitterness upon my lips. Against black sky, moon shines bright illuminating the way, a guiding light. I walk barefoot along pebbled beach the waters edge I finally reach. The moonlight, its complexion glows as the cold water gently licks my toes. I take one step and then one more Its tight cold icy grip, I ignore. Now the waters up-to the knees my hair is dancing with the breeze, I close my eyes and breathe in deep a blissful feeling a memory to keep. I wade out further now feeling brave I wait patiently for the coming wave my legs are numb, but I feel so alive as into the waiting ocean I finally dive.
