The Manipulative Ocean
Your bubbly foam tides tickle my feet softly.
You wave so excitedly and even from afar I see a warm glowing star peek behind you.
You introduce me to unique gifts of nature.
Like stars I could never reach from the sky.
I stride through the tides warmed up by the sunset's golden beams.
Currents make me flow swiftly as if I have become your boat.
The diamonds embedded in the water twinkle to distract me of searching the shoreline.
I've gotten heavier.
I start to hyperventilate.
Poseidon's anchor drags my ankles.
I am deprived of control.
I am deprived of breathing.
My lungs drown, uncapable to regain strength.
I've lost sight of your warm smile.
"I was delusional", I thought, as everything went from a blur to pitch black.
Pitch black.
The darkness I was never cautious of.
The darkness I met when my heart sank within the deep blue.....I mean black ocean.

Hi there Ingrid,
I found your writing hitting my "Ooof" button, in my own sad recognition. Your metaphoric visions totally enthralled and carried me along each line. It's a poignant, personal piece and I felt it deeply.
I'm so glad you shared with us.
