Ocean
The sea was a sapphire
Wind whirled brushing hair out of her eyes
The sun beamed down gently tickling her skin
Still an unexplainable sadness tainted the alluring beach
Waves shattered the granule sand
The same place from time immemorial...
The earth just as she remembered
The same place she breathed one’s last
The place she grew up
Where she drew her first step
Her life, it reminded her of
Both her and the tide are so akin
Built of many components, so rich and full
The musk of pungent freedom
Calm, but ferocious, tearing down walls
Still the supporter of many
The idleness within the murky waters
Abruptly the heavens burst to rain
bang, Bang, BANG
Flooding the ocean
Burying her in sorrows
She didn’t try to swim, just asphyxiate
Forgetting, regrets, if only...
If only she took control of her life
If only she took the job
If only she hadn’t married him
Now she’s here
Maybe if she did things different back then
She wouldn’t
Be so
Alone.
