I feel the coolness of the ocean blue Engulfing me as I enter my ‘home’ The ocean beckons me deeper Back down to where I feel so safe and sound Poseidon gently takes me by the hand And shows me his world of magic Existing only beneath the lands And in the paradise By forgetting the woes of being alive Life for me begins anew But once again I am reminded I am nothing but a visitor The fires of reality burn Calling me back from over yonder I begin to ascend, though slow and gradual The ocean pulls, reluctant to let me go Poseidon’s sad smile makes my heart break But alas I must go With the promise to return For their sakes and mine I emerge, leaving behind My oceanic sanctuary
