Mother Ocean

I walk the steep stairs to the ocean, I am excited, this is where I belong
I feel the cool sand between my toes, here I am free
The waves are like a monster, but I’m not afraid
She comforts me
The sound of the waves is her song
Somedays I sit on the hill overlooking the ocean, and listen to her
When I stand on the edge of her waters I let my roots sink into the ground
Here I can hear all the animals join her ongoing anthem
When I’m here I feel like I belong, like I am home.
