The Ocean Calls

I hear the Ocean call from cascading waves, to sailors and knaves. I feel Her misty breath on a foggy night, while the air turns white. I smell Her salty spray saturating me: while setting me free. I taste the bitter-sweet essence of Her kiss; the promise of bliss. Sending Kings and slaves to watery graves; I hear the Ocean call from cascading waves.
