Salty Silence
The waves crash with the roar of a dragon
on the suspecting sand
Foam roams the land
and tries to reach every corner
The water pulls at your feet,
deceptively playful
All the while it slinks around your ankles
with an unbreakable grip
You easily succumb to the sea’s wishes,
moving willingly along to the water
You sink with each step
but you are not afraid
You peer at the blanket of water
as it reaches your cheeks
Your eyes are wide open
as you fall completely under
Soundlessly you tumble
The darkness clouds your vision
until you cannot see
the sunlight that reaches out its limbs
Only now can calm spread through your chest,
released and flowing freely
For it is only underwater
that you hear nothing at all
