Tune of the Ocean

she has a meditative way of lulling me to sleep
such a quiet, gentle almost unheard lapping against the shore
in the most luxuriously honest way imaginable
there is a methodical beat to the ocean's tide at night
not a melody, but rather a honest regular tune of calm
she simulates my dream state and lulls me into dreamland
I shut my eyes, glad I am the only one on the beach
honored with her tune, feeling as if she is me, and I am her

Yes, I know that feeling. Being near the ocean...near enough to hear her...is a marvelous gift. She really does speak to the mind. It's a good thing to become one with her.
