My Surrender to the Ocean


from the ABC set

I wade through heavy sand,
to get to the waters edge,
I gaze out to the open sea,
& horizon, give up my head.

I throw down the stolen shells,
drop the multi-coloured stones.

The driftwood waves me goodbye.

Reach to the horses of foam,
who lift me above their backs,
in churning under the waves,
I helplessly feel myself relax.

I don't want to worry,
about ever coming back.

i agree with shoe about the ending. the whole piece effectively captures a moment with some good imagery. i especially like: "The driftwood waves me goodbye."

do you use "&" instead of "and" for a particular reason?

Ah, I guess am just lazy with typing and keep forgetting to change it afterwards & here it fits in the lines nicer. :) I'm glad you lik it, that was added in after.
