The music of the ocean
Washes me away
Gently lapping at my feet
My legs
My waist
My shoulders
I am floating
Supported
In the loving hands of the water
The music of the ocean
Carries me away
I close my eyes
The water whispers
“Trust me”
I let go
Face turned to the sky
I rest
In the loving hands of the water
The music of the ocean
Lulls me away
The sound
Of waves crashing against the shore
Recedes
Until there is nothing left
But the salty breeze
Kissing my face
And my mind melting away
I am whole
In the loving hands of the water
The music of the ocean
Washes me away
