The Sea
lifted
I am
and
swayed
Brought back to the sandy shore.
I feel the impact of the water
And I spar with the force
A hopeless battle, but savoring the fight nevertheless.
I see crystals
mixed
together
in
a
sparkling elixir
Holding life and mystery
As the waves tease me and poke me
with quick kisses
and fast punches.
The water morphs from blue
to green,
dark
to light
A cascade of life.
I am entranced
By its shades, variance,
power.
I feel the water
pulling the ground from underneath my feet
Daring me to stay in one spot.
It beckons me towards newness
Deeper
into uncertain,
changing
depths.
I dig
into the sand
And uncover the bones of the sea,
A beautiful medley in colors and shapes and textures.
I release the sand
And the water takes what it owns.
I lay in the sand and waves come around me
They lift me and pull me in
A hug
An embrace
A home.
I let the waters take me
And give in to the fight I do not want to win.
Who am I to call
A gift
to the sea
Something
Which it already owns?
