Embrace of the Ocean

By: Serena Zhang

Silky hair billowing in my salty gusts,
wild as a field of whispering reeds.
Pensive eyes boring into my distant waves,
splashed with the clearness of the sky.
I crash gently upon her.
Her skin is a smooth pearl,
kissed by the warmth of the sun.
Her laughter is sweet music,
crisp as golden grains of sand.
Lapping on the shore,
in the rhythm of her breath.
Inhale,
soft as the clouds in the sky.
Exhale,
sharp as the rocks on my shores.
Never have I caressed one so pure,
so light, so shining, so precious to all.
Where the land and sea forever weave,
she is the beach,
in my everlasting embrace.
