Breath of Life
Haunting shadows flicker
while rays of light slowly dissipate
as they penetrate the many fathoms
Crisp, clear as lead crystal.
Blue like a child’s inkwell.
Waves, white and powerful
remind me of the seas' energy
as they pound at my feet.
Standing on the edge, a click, looking towards the horizon.
Searching for a sign,
a boat,
or just searching?
Whales travel in pairs
as they frolic with a thunderous crash.
Sea air blows sharply in my face
leaving an almost bitter taste of salt on my lips.
I close my eyes and take a deep, strong, breath,
as if trying to become one with this display of nature.
If only for a moment, I try.
To escalate,
to breath new life into my body.
