There’s days when I can hear the thunder
Far off and distant
The waves start to dance and sway
Where drowning doesn’t sound so awful
One breath and I’d be less tired
I’m only human and the sea calls for my soul
But, sadness is fleeting
For happiness drowns me in child giggles
And the warmth of her lips
My body aches
My mind races
Yet, I’ve never been so at peace
