Unsteady blowing winds initiated my senses.
Wave after wave, the fast pounding waters caressed up against my bare feet.
Powerful waters came, crushing rocks, turning them into grains of sand.
I screamed as the wind blew at my face, strands of hair falling into my mouth; my fists tightened.
I froze for a moment as I thought about time going on without me.
Was my mind playing tricks? My ears deafened from the crashing waves. I became blind by the white foam, as my whole body was becoming numb. I tried to grasp the meaning of this mystical magical sea.
My turbulent waves of emotions were increasing, salty tears rushing and crushing deep down inside my hardened soul.
How long had I yearned for the depths of this power to overtake me; how long had I waited for the mystical and magical sea to romance me?
I savored the misty salted air as I breathed it in.
The hem of my dress rippled. I blew kisses of tears as it beckoned me to come closer; risks of desires to live life to its fullest.
�Oh mystical and magical sea, you are so strong yet so gentle; so full of knowledge and wisdom; beautiful long waiting possibilities. Yes, come closer to me oh sea of waves, roll forward and mesmerize my soul; transpire into me. Come capture me.
I began to count the waves; one wave, two waves, three waves.
My lips widened to find a smile. My ears began to hear, my eyes began to see, I was no longer numb; I cried for joy.
�You inspire me so mystical and magical sea; wrap your angel waving arms around and instill peace and love into me; intensify my soul.
Yes, sea of love, I breathe you in, desiring your calmness.
I fear you but love you and respect you.
I trust your presence and that you will never forsake me.
Come deeper, deeper; bring the depths of you into me. Journey into my soul; transform my restlessness.
Oh sea, oh sea, oh mystical magical sea, I am full of peace, free of storms. I can now tolerate life-changing times, and the endurance to go on. I am with you now, for you are my all.
Yours truly,
