The Ocean

I walked along

These sandy grounds.

I watched as the ocean

Wave.

I looked around

There was only me.

I heard a voice calling my name

Yet I didn't go.

I wondered who else

Was at the edge of

This ocean,

Waiting.

Waiting for the gentle breeze

To carry them away.

To a place unknown.

I have yet to learn

Of all the wonders of the seafloor.

The voice was still calling

Out for me.

I felt my feet

Walk towards the unknown

They carried me out

Into the bottom of the ocean.

That's when I realized

Here is where I belong.

It may sound crazy

You may think it's untrue

But I felt everything around

Become one.

I know now that here

In the ocean

Was my home.
