Ocean

A voice inside me told me to be silent be still
cant you her your mother calling
listen to the nature beyond the city
i closed my eyes i could hear the tree swaying
the birds singing i could feel the wind blowing trough my hair
when i opened my eyes i saw the ocean
escaping the pain the city brings me
go in she says
the waves hit me hard
i took in every one
the rock were rough
i enjoyed there presents
the water crashing into me and it runs down my face
getting pulled under i could feel the sand on my back
the life around me seems to say your welcome here
the fish are carious while they swim across my body
i got caught in a jungle of seaweed
they accepted my presents and i went on my way
got pulled deeper and deeper into the ocean
a rock hit the back of my head
i used it as a pillow and laid my head to sleep
i awoke in the morning on the cold cement streets of Seattle
the remains of a 40 was on the ground before me
pieces still in my hair and skull
the blood was all dry
but woods reopen as i pride my self of the ground
barley arriving home... my friends ask what happened
i tell them i was swimming in the ocean with my mom
they understood for they had been there before
