The pull of the ocean…washed away by the sea.

I sometimes wonder,
what it would be like,
to stand on the wet, sandy shore,
as a giant wave washes over me,
taking me into its cool embrace,
drowning me in its love,
washing away my sorrows,
my human sins.

Would I become immortal?

Would I be at peace?

Would I find happiness at long last?

I have become so weary of this life,
tired of fighting,
tired of crying.

I long for serenity.

I long for tranquility.

The ocean calls to me,
like a long lost lover,
waiting for me to return.

So I take that step,
and walk into the sea…

walking along the beach is quiet relaxing with the cool breeze touching your skin…. but don\’t go beyond where your feet won\’t able to walk in…don\’t go without a life jacket.

This was a powerful piece, and of course, we hope it is entirely fictional.
