The sea Blissful and blue Huge and haunting Terrifying and tumultuous The waves invite me Lure me to enter Their world They touch my feet Cajole them and tickle them The soft sand beneath them melting away Trying to take me in But I never surrender I run back to the sea of life To fall and rise with the waves of ‘this’ sea I struggle to paddle along But never say die The sea is endless And so is my determination And so am ‘I’!
