TRANQUILITY

by zeewipark

Tranquility I seek

In the water so deep.

The moonlight’s glow,

The wave’s salty flow,

Even the whale’s blow,

Bring me to a special place,

As soothing as a lover’s embrace.

Cold fingers hold me aloft

In a bed so watery and soft.

I WALK

Purple sprays my face.

Orange blinds my eyes.

Ice coats my toes.

Salt whips my hair.

I shut my eyes and walk.

My heels dig into the wet sand.

I move deeper into the water.

Waves attack my shivering body.

I waver for a moment.

Then I continue my journey.

I slit my eyes open.

The sky burns red.

The sun has lowered its face.

I stand in icy water in muted colors of amber.

Time to return to the shore.

Or not.

I continue to walk.

FLOW OF NATURE

The sea flows through me.

I’m part of it you see.

Water fills my cells.

It rings all my bells.

Sunlight keeps me warm.

Nature is true to form.

It protects us.

It nurtures us.

We’re all connected.

No less is expected.

MY PERFECT FANTASY

MY PERFECT FANTASY

I walk through the soft sand.
Dip my toes into the ocean.
The cold water soothes me.
The sun hits my face.
The salty breeze ruffles my hair.
A perfect paradise.
Until I feel the pressure.
A hand tugs my leg.
It’s time to leave my perfect fantasy.
Life has a way of interfering.
A demon rises from the ocean.
Clothing drips from its fingers.
I know what it is.
It’s the demon of laundry.
An ever-present and growing demon.
Will a stack of dishes be next?
Goodbye demons.
I’m going back to my fantasy.
I see dolphins swimming by the shore.
See you later.

A DAY AT THE BEACH

A sea breeze to soothe my aching soul.

Palm trees to fan my hot body.

Cold water to caress my toes.

White sand flows through my fingers.

A day in Oasis, Florida.

A day at the beach.

COLD DEPTHS

Take me in your arms,

As your darkness surrounds me.

Bring me to the outer limits

Of your hope and despair.

Delight me with your cold depths,

Waiting in the wetness beyond.

RAIN

Safe and secure.

Beneath the bridge.

Rain splashing free.

Wild on its journey.

Watering the trees.

Filling the grass.

Life for the flowers.

Puddles for the concrete.

A splash.

A spray.

Cold on my face.

Alive.

Surrounding me.

With life.

UNDER THE BRIDGE

It is here.

A force to be reckoned with.

Growing by the second.

Thrashing under the bridge.

Leaving death in its wake.

Leave me be.

My dying wish isn’t

to be consumed by the sea.

A DREAM

coiour-my-world

Radiance by IsacGoulart

Rays of sunshine color my world.

In shades of yellow and green.

Palm trees wave in the breeze.

Cooling my face on this summer day.

I bathe my face in the cold water.

Water droplets let loose in the humid air.

Soon my body is floating on the water.

As it carries me downstream.

I don’t care if my clothes get wet.

I must follow my dream on this hot day.

FREE FALL THROUGH SPACE

What does it feel like?

To free fall

through the air.

To let yourself go

to the feeling.

To step back and jump.

Nothing but air

until you hit the water.

To believe in yourself.

To believe in the water

to cushion your fall.

Freedom.

An escape from life.

An escape from reality.

What does it feel like?

I’ll let you know

after I hit the water.

ONE WITH THE SEA

d-iagnose

Cold ripples stroke my legs.

My toes sink deeper into the sand.

I stand transfixed by the beauty.

In awe of the majestic waves.

They grow taller and fuller.

Pulling me deeper into their thrall.

I fall to my hands and knees as I let go.

Letting the water take me farther.

All I can hear are the thrashing waves.

Taking me farther away from home.

I can see the blue sky above me.

And the fish swimming below.

Will I become one with this new family?

One with the sea and its life.
