my body yearns for her
the salty waters of birth
the powdered sands
of earth and dead crustaceans
her breath of brine
and heartbeat
encircling my senses

my soul yearns for her
the womb of life
the sounds of her tides
lulling me into slumber
the warm arms of her beaches

i long to be blinded
by the silver of her waters
to be annointed
by her cascading waves

i long to return
to the ocean
to the infinite wonders
that she holds
for me to carry home
to die and fade
away from her love

my Mistress calls me
my Mistress calls me....
