The Sea and Sky

I wade in the sea

The gentle water embraces my every move

My eyes look up

Another sea above me clothed in twinkling stars

I splash my feet

The warm and silky water pleads to be played in

The sky grows darker

Illuminated only by the glistening stars and shimmering moon

The glowing spreads reflecting the vast sky

The day looses its life

As night falls upon the sea

The dark waves and the sky’s soft silk caress me

I lay down on the soothing bed of water

Listening to the hushed waves slap against the sea

I close my eyes

Feeling the fluttering breeze gently pat my cheeks

My eyes sting as they fill with water

A mist of blanket warms my soul

The shaded blue sings a lullaby

I fall asleep upon the opaque salt water

Looking up at the endless blue sky of wonder

The daze of blue and gleam

There between the sea and sky
