Some come to the ocean wishing only to Receive
Its offering of bounty,
Never seeking the depths to begin with.
Some refuse to enter, watching, waiting, listening.
Some dive in only to return to shore dry as a bone;
Some leave soaking wet and breathless,
Some make it home.
In the summer
We were free.
Life’s waves crashed
At our feet.
I could hear your heartbeat
Above it all.
Above the wind,
Above the rush.
I could hear your heartbeat
Above it all.
As we ran until we were
Breathless.
As our salty lips brushed
And our
Hair tangled.
As we fell to the shore
Spent.
Still.
Loved.
Tell me
Sweet soul,
Are you still loved?
Even now I feel your
Heartbeat
On my skin.
Even now I hear your heartbeat
Above it all.
In deep water I do tread,
The beginning of my doubt.
Fingers playing on the surface
As I watch the ripples multiply.
Second guessing my decision
To swim in over my head
Instead of waiting free from
Danger
On the
Shore.
I am going to sleep
And in my dreams I will meet you
On the oceans edge.
Where the waves come
To kiss the shore
And stir the sand.
There I will stand.
Where they greet each other
With a never ending caress.
Never to rest.
They have become the motion,
The waves of the ocean.
Always coming back for more
The waters crave the shore.
Traveling the curves of the
Earth
To Embrace.
Dancing with grace,
Ever longing
For the magical song of the
Moon.
