Silence

How to describe the sight of the sparkling blue ocean that enthralls
me?
The ever restless waves bubbling and leaping joyfully catching the
sun rays. The waves playfully teasing the toes of the sandy beach. It
glitters as if there are diamonds glinting just under the surface. I
feel the wind gently caress my hair, and the sun softly kiss my skin,
warming the depths of my being. I want to become unrestricted. I long to
gracefully leap atop the fence that bars me from this divine water. I long to leap upon it and stand, gazing at my target in the water. I nervously wiggle my toes and bend in the wind like a weeping willow. I push long and hard and dive into the water like a otter, ever so gracefully.
I want to dance with the waves, moving my legs within the cocoon of the
water.Feel the swirling liquid encase my arms and run through my fingers and toes. I duck underwater and my hair floats around me, fire in water. For I will ever possess an antithetical nature.
I long to feel weightless, all my flaws hidden beneath this diamond surface. I want to remain under the surface gently moving to the rhythm of the ceaseless waves, weightless in this peaceful quiet. In this silent world I long to remain carefree and blissfully innocent. I wish so desperately to find a hidden world of sea creatures that beg me to stay so that they can teach me the secrets of this crystal blue world. But against my will my lungs will beg for mercy and once again I'll have to surface to the cacophony of the world in which I reside. Perhaps I'll linger, dipping into the world I can only visit for but a moment. And eventually I'll walk upon shore. Dismally longing for that which I cannot reach. Breathlessly cold and dripping with the last drops of the diamond waves which now make my body uncomfortable. And I'll become aware of my flaws and hide beneath a towel. I'll drive away ever searching for the glimmering blue water peaking o'er the horizon.
Longing for a permanent piece of this sanctum, ever hoping for the weightless bliss I was apart of.

And the ocean ceaselessly beckons me, calling me, singing to me, with a rhythm I cannot resist.
