It was a beautiful day
The sun was out
The sea breeze
And the crashing waves
I was raring for a dip
And I was curious
I was drawn
Like newly hatched turtles
To the sea
I can’t recall
The exact moment
I felt the tingling sensation
Of the saltwater
On my sole
It was fun, at first
The contrast of
The cold water
And my warm legs
Yin and yang
Dazed, I went forward
On and on and on
I was clamoring for the cold
Even if the sea
Didn’t seem to mind
The water was up ’til my chest
But I didn’t notice it then
The waves were higher
Hitting me more regularly
Like clockwork
The water was up ’til my nose
I couldn’t breathe
Well, I did but it was
All water
I try to go back
But the currents pull me in
And then I realized
I was in too deep
