Ocean Home Calling

i always wanted to chase into the sky

the ambition, the height, the thrill of leaving

now i keep hearing the calling from the ocean

the dark blue 

thousands of miles of water beneath

where i cant breath

it frightens me

it comforts me

when my body disconnects

and my emotions take over

there is nowhere in me to feel

nowhere for my weight to land

i lie in the ocean, floating

looking up at the sky

i cant think of anything but the temperature of the water on my skin

the scary waves far away 

draw the boundary

but I'm not afraid

i always remember the warm water 

in the great barrier reef

i got excited chasing after sharks

they swam so fast

and that morning when high tide brought in the jellyfish

suddenly i found my self surrounded by 20 turtles

and the day i met Larry 

the massive loggerhead turtle

he was so big 

he startled me when i turnt around

with a scar on his face 

he was so graceful, beautiful and calm

when i feel unplaced

floating

suspended in between

i like to think 

i have a home there 

in that blue

i came from ocean 

and that’s where i’ll go
