The Ocean's Temptation

I was standing in sand
when the ocean beckoned to me.
Its waves whispered,
drawing me to towards it.

A soothing sound,
the ocean calls.
The subtle crashing
concealing what’s underneath.

What does she have to hide?

Luring me forward,
I slip off my shoes,
the marks they make
are swallowed by the sea.

Coaxed by the waves,
motioned by the tide,
I leave my footprints,
my marks upon the ground:
engraved in sand,
to be washed away.
I step further,
the waves summoning,
I slowly plunge
into the depths of the unknown.
