Call of the Sea

The wind caresses my face, my hair, my whole being. Merging with the sea, the salty wind brings back memories of a long forgotten past. A tear falls to the never-ending expanse of water before me.

Then I hear him calling; the sea to me:

'Let go,

Come to the sea,

Let go,

Be forever free.'

Oh how I long to succumb to your call oh mighty Poseidon!

How I have missed our home!

The water flows cold at my feet. It comes to the shore, slowly trying to pull me back within. If only I can let go… If only… but I cannot; not now.

We will be together soon. I will be free and so will my baby.

Don't break my heart

For I will return;

And in the darkest night

My freedom will shine bright,

Bursting from your depths within

Shine, will our bright-coloured fins
