the ocean it’s calling me. its sweet longing, tugs at the echoes of the beach. the water is the greatest illusion, seemingly blue and seamless, it washes up, clear as crystal. the water stretches for miles like millions of diamonds floating on the transparent linen blurred by the glint of the sun. sailboats glide past creating the only dents in the flawless sheet of foam haunting the blue ink. swish my eyes close and i lean back and i let the arms of the waves catch me the tides pull me down until my head is no longer above the surface and i do not struggle but say my farewell to the sunlight. swish the sounds are fading and my vision is receding i try not to fight and i let my body lie limp the world will never know i am gone. the sky will never spill a tear. insignificant insignificant when you hear the echoes of the ocean or see the million diamonds lined up along the shore i hope you think of me and i hope you know, i am free swish

death by ocean.
the ocean it’s calling me. its sweet longing, tugs at the echoes of the beach. the water is the greatest illusion, seemingly blue and seamless, it washes up, clear as crystal. the water stretches for miles like millions of diamonds floating on the transparent linen blurred by the glint of the sun. sailboats glide past creating the only dents in the flawless sheet of foam haunting the blue ink. swish my eyes close and i lean back and i let the arms of the waves catch me the tides pull me down until my head is no longer above the surface and i do not struggle but say my farewell to the sunlight. swish the sounds are fading and my vision is receding i try not to fight and i let my body lie limp the world will never know i am gone. the sky will never spill a tear. insignificant insignificant when you hear the echoes of the ocean or see the million diamonds lined up along the shore i hope you think of me and i hope you know, i am free swish
