I found myself, adrift, at sea

No life boat, floating under me

Only liquid swells, of ocean tides

I breathe it in, and feel alive

Wiggle my toes, down below

Shiver, in the heat’s shadow

While sun beats down, upon my hair

I knew right then, I didn’t care

I best forget, the hardened land

I’ve found my peace, in the ocean sand

The Ocean and Me ~ #poetry

I stand on the shoreline, the ocean, so free

I feel the breeze flowing, sensually

The rush of the waves, the smell of the air

I dream of the beach, and wish I was there

Where cooling water, refreshes my skin

Washing away, all of yesterday’s sins

Baptizing my being, cleansing my soul

Letting the tides, take total control

I want to stay sleeping, in this sweet fantasy

The sand, and the breeze, the water, and me

Hiding in the sand

She glows, like an ocean pearl

Awaiting her oyster

#TBT ~ The Kite – #poetry of #childhood

Sand in her toes
Wind in her hair
She runs and releases the string
Watching
As the kite takes flight

Soaring with the breeze
She runs along the beach
Holding on tightly
Waiting for that gust
That will carry her away
