Oceanic Dreaming

If you haven't noticed by the title and theme of my blog- I am completely and utterly in love with the ocean. It is my life's greatest passion. Perhaps this should've been my first entry... rather than the random rant I posted at 3 am! Anyway, I thought I'd share a poem that I wrote about my love for the ocean. To me, it is the essence of all life- the mother of all creation. It commands our respect, conjures fear in some and utmost admiration in others, and above all: requires our attention and devotion to protect and conserve it's natural resources and wonders. Because without the ocean- life will cease to exist.

"Mother Ocean"

My heart rests in the depths of the sea
Floating, weightless, is this a dream?
My breath is taken away from me
My eyes race with curiosity

Once submerged life slows down
Feet no longer need the ground
Turquoise tones dance all around
Beneath the waves my soul is bound

Rolling energy breaks above
An invisible surge tugs and shoves-
A gentle caress from the one I love
My spirit, my life- she grasps a hold of

Respect- a necessity to witness this place
I could lose myself in time and space
She could make me vanish without a trace
I give her my reverence and relish her embrace

Immersed and surrounded by liquid undulations
My body trembles with each sensation
I surrender with instant admiration-
The Ocean: Mother of all creation
