Ebbs And Flows

i watched the ocean that night
i saw it tugging at the edges
wanting to get close
the quiet white foam
tumbled
while green
washed it's way across the sand
crystals blew
caressed my cheeks
smelled as the air
salty
seeing only swirling green
retreating
not disagreeable
the sun kissed my skin
goodbye
crept slowly
as the the tide followed

that night
i wished i was the water
only realizing
i am
but blue
