I’m tired of lakes and rivers, for they no longer fit,
So I return to my ocean and patiently sit.
I wanted the sea to flood me, to finally make me whole,
To quench the smoldering heat and fire in my soul.
But then the cool clear water beckoned me to dive,
Engulfing my body, for once I felt alive.
Lost in my pleasure, I did not stop to think,
I did not even notice until I felt my body sink
I tried to stay afloat but I knew that I would drown,
For the waves were crashing hard, pulling me deep down.
Then the water resided, and returned back to the sea,
Now I’m left all alone…there’s no one here but me.
I still long for the water to rise up once more,
To swirl around me as I lie upon the shore.
I guess I dove too soon…I did not think to wait,
Now I’ve lost all control for your power’s just too great.
I know I can’t hold on to what doesn’t stay still
But how do I give up when you’ve taken all my will?_
