I found myself, alone, floating across the sea

In a tiny boat, I wondered what happened to me

The water, crystal clear, sparkled, like sunlit glass

Fish swam below me, schools of them, en masse

I couldn’t see anything, no matter where I looked

Suddenly, the calm receded, then the water shook

Up, from out of the ocean, a distant island appeared

At least I think it was, my eyesight, not quite clear

Palm trees swayed, in the breeze, atop a sandy shore

I shaded sun from my eyes, why couldn’t I see more?

Alas, I realized, this place, was all that had remained

Of Earth, of me and my boat, the rest is unexplained

It swirled, like an eddy, from deep below

Took everything with it, in the undertow

Gulls hovered over, in awe of the sea

Tried hard, not to become, what would be

Such turbulence, they had never seen

Deep in the waters, this swirling green

Pristine white, its crests swayed, to and fro

How much it would engulf, was hard to know

We watched from above, afraid to go near

Lest the sea swallowed us, this we did fear

Mesmerized by its beauty, awed by its sight

It activated our senses, to flee out of fright

Still, there we waited, wondered, would it make good

Then we watched it take over, the place where we stood

High upon the cliff, bottle of rum, in hand

He stood, staring down, into the open sea

Was this the day when he’d finally let go?

Or would he, once again, panic and flee?

He took one last chug, dropping the glass

Watching, as it crashed against the rocks

Shattering, into a million pieces, shards

Stepping back, of his life, he took stock

Still, he was taunted by the raging waters

Crashing against the cliffs, ferociously

No more booze, to calm his quaking nerves

At last, he jumped, plummeting, into the sea

 

Feeling icy waters caress him, as deeper, he let himself fall

Neath the ocean, is now the place he calls home

Tis what he really wanted, after all…

Imagine we are lost at sea
With only ripples of water beside us
Aboard this tiny boat, with me
Just enough of a breeze to guide us

There’s no one around, for miles, and miles
Only wide open space, decked out in blue
Perhaps we just bask, in the sun, awhile
Yes, that’s exactly what I think we should do

Then let the sails take us, far, far away
And forget about life on the shores
It’s just us, and the wind, for today
I’m sure I’ve had this dream before

A journey to the ocean, fluid movements of water

Find their destiny, in a vast expanse, still churning

Raindrops, a cloud’s singular falling, gather together

Ever grateful, to their maker, to finally be returning
