I love the ocean
For the calmness it gives
After the storm's passed
It leaves behind
A quietness in my heart

I love the ocean
In it's depth, it's vastness
In all it's shades of blue
Crowned by dancing white spray
Falling and rising in constant motion

I love the ocean
It keeps me mesmerized
By the orchesta of bundled water
Crashing down the coast
A low drum to a metronome

I love the ocean
For the breeze in my hair
The air in my lungs
And the salt
Fresh memories on your skin

When do I get to taste it again?
