ive been swallowed by the ocean

Face to face with the ocean’s spray,
True happiness lies on the shore.
I float, unafraid,
Let the waves carry me.
Seashells sit, awaiting her,
she walks for miles along the sand

Brings back a jar full

Light blanket

Wide smile
She tells me she’s never been so happy before.
Safe place, blue waves, 

And I wonder -
Would it hurt to drown?

From a "poem explosion" exercise, where we chose a line from a poem (A Dog Has Died by Pablo Neruda) and created our own poem starting with this line.
