You Are The Ocean Poem by Lynn Grassette

You are the ocean,
And I, alone, am drifting upon you,
I alone, am drowning in your fierce waves;
Barley able to keep my head above the water
As your currents pull me in every direction,
Threatening my every breath;
Silently mocking my entire existence.

I fight; I try so hard to fight you off,
Holding my breath,
Hoping that time will cool the storm;
And that your intensity will cease;
That you might let me be.

But this is a lost cause.
I find myself floating face down,
My lungs filled with your salty water.
And slowly I am swallowed up by you,
Engulfed in all you are.
I am one with you.
