I hear the ocean in my dreams,

Calling to me distantly.

She whispers my name seductively,

A song only meant for me.

I feel her tenderly touch me,

Caressing me lovingly;

She cradles me in her waves,

A gentle rocking in her bosom. 

I smell the briney breeze 

Coming off of the ocean;

A cool, salty scented wind

Fills my lungs with brine.

I feel the cool water wash over me,

The waves crashing against my skin,

Encrusting my skin and hair

In a salty, thin layer, a salty skin.

I see the ocean stretch on,

Spreading out to the horizon,

A glimmering reflection of the sky,

The waves crashing against each other.

The ocean calls to me in my dreams,

Pulling to my heartstrings,

The aching need burning deep in me,

The yearning never going away.

The ocean is where I belong...
