The Ocean Blue

Long days await a lonely sailor. 

One who’s life is bound to the constant drift

Of the ocean blue. 

Desperate for belonging,

The lonely sailor talks to creatures of the sea. 

Singing the mellow songs of ancient humpback whales,

Waiting for the old sea turtles to remember their days upon dry golden sand.

Watching young sharks turn into hunters of the deep. 

As mermaids hum soft ballads to views that have no words that could decently describe them. 

He lays down his anchor to relax with the star fishes in colorful and bright coral reefs. 

And as this lonely sailor hoists his sails, and raises his anchor. 

He can’t help but notice the sun spilling it’s golden glow onto the calm waves. Slowly drowning into the sea, while the dark sky of night takes over and shines it’s bounty of stars and constellations. For one fleeting moment, our lonely sailor feels calm. 

Feels loved. 

As his eyes begin to feel heavy and his breath slows, jellyfish help carry him off to dream. 

To dream of a better tomorrow. 

To dream that he might meet another lonely sailor 

In the vast, ocean blue.
