I feel the warm tide drown me in salt water infusion. Seaweed submerges me with its green mesh of squishy earthiness. I pull up from the blue cognac water like I am being spit out of the spout of a whale or like an emerald mermaid coming up for air to sunbathe. I want to feel the heat of the sun wash over me with its sparkling rays of enigmatic light, as my skin slowly turns from wet ashes to solid gold. I am coming to life as the oxygen fuels me, the suns feeds me and the water brings to me a new mind and a new soul. My spirit has been renewed. The ocean is my haven where I rest in solitude. The waves mock the rhythm of my heart as it beats faster than the beat before, pulsating through the blue network of veins that travel through out my water logged body. My fingers are now prune like, my eyes are encased in a heaviness of ebony, my hair once silver has now taken on a hue of ominous green. I am one with the sea. I crave its magnificent depths, endless vast vessels and its ability to take and to form life of its own. I search for pearls and endless treasures only to find that its magical endless beauty is all I need in order to sustain my simple yet extraordinary little life. I step out of the turquoise city and spread my body onto the diamond like sand as it scorches my cold lifeless feet. My body sinks into the castles around me and I am a princess of its land. I look out to see the silhouette of a ship in the distance sea , wishing I was living the life of a pirate. But for now I would listen to the tidal waves as I soaked in the warmth of a midsummers day, surrounded by the salt life and parrots in the bay.
