Your Ocean
The waves crash upon the sand
beating against the shore.
At one point these waves,
which heave a heavy roar,
engulf the coastline
pulling me in and dragging me
into the undertow.
I breath in salt,
I breath out.
I am lost in the vastness of the ocean.
I am drowning in it's depths
but if I were to drown in a place,
let me drown here.
The waves may crash over me
but I invite them.
The current may leave me hazy
but I invite it.
Yes,
let me drown in the current of the ocean.
and sink beneath it's surface.
For there was never an ocean
as beautiful as this.
There was never an undertow so calming
and should breathing the salt in sting
I will gladly take the sting
for the beauty of the ocean
in which I will lie.
Yes, I will welcome
the beauty of the ocean
where I will most likely die
