Dear ocean
Deep, unknown and full of life
May I just ask,
How many lives have you taken?
I feel inexplicably drawn and want to plunge
To be underwater and emerge out
The salt and the sting in my eyes
The feeling of being carried, taken in completely
All over and all around
Take me in as I am
I stand on the sand and watch you from afar
Your serene turquoise during the day and then black at night
The angry waves during the storm
So unforgiving to so many
Why would you spare me?
You and your eyes like the ocean
Light blue in the sun
What hue do they shine on a pillow in a dark room?
What story would they tell me?
I stand right here on the sand
My heart screaming for a plunge
But knowing I will get lost in you
As I just can’t fight you
Gris-gris...
