Greyblue overwhelms my eyes as fog and cloud covers the sand Stretching beside me I step forth, leaving family behind Lost in wonder. Salt intoxicates, tempts my nostrils Enticing my feet forward The coarse sand grows soft As it greets the water, Melting at its touch - my toes relish the taste- Natural Water rushing around me Below me Through me Rising as I willingly sink in The endless ocean hypnotizing me Like the sirens it holds, singing to The voyager within A voice, now not so sweet Stern, concerned, worried, -motherly- Calling me back, forming Crossroads to my young mind Amphibious A tadpole Drawn between reality and - safety? Pulled back The sand chafes my skin As I walk back to the world I know so well, And the future that remains a stranger.
