The Sea

The sea, once it casts its spell

The sea calls to me from afar,
and my heart yearns to go.

Sparkling blue, foamy white caps roll onto the shore,
lapping at my toes as I long to jump into the wondrous blue.

Wishing to be a part of a world,
where weightlessness suspends
the body between land and sky.

I ride the currents that slowly pull me to them
like the beckoning arms of a Lover.

Imagination takes me
as the waves roll higher,
pulling me out slowly.

Delight overcomes me
as my mind goes
dancing with Dolphins
amidst the laughing blue.

Like a careful lover,
it turns, returning to its place
with a last silken caress,
awaiting our next embrace.
