My Ocean.

Fading away,slowly,
sand,hot beneath my feet,
I have reached my ocean.

As I step in, the water
is unnaturally warm, foaming
white waves writhe,
beckoning me. I listen.

With arms outstretched, I fall
sinking deeper and deeper
tantric motions lull me,
into a state of oneness.

I glide past pebbles,
seaweed dancing around,
oh the seaweed,how it tickles
my legs as I glide further down.

Blue, I have never seen such color,
rich,bight,warm.
My blue ocean is offset
with pink and yellow coral.

Flying past the coral,
faster I glide,I am breathing,
breathing in my ocean with new gills
swimming faster with my fins.

I have become part of the blue.
We are all part of it,and my ancestors
welcome me,with open fins.
I shall not return to the shore.
