ocean arms

I tossed and turned and suddenly found myself in the middle of the ocean

I spread my arms, floating in the vast warmth of the water

I took a deep breath and slowly followed the rhythm of the sea, turning to my side

Until I was suddenly on the shore, the tender waves caressing my body,

Gliding over me, under me, all around me, like hands of silk.

I turned again and suddenly I was on an island

The sand enveloped me, held me gently in its arms, warm and firm

The breeze whistled around me, singing soft songs and brushing soft fingers through my hair.

I turned and turned until suddenly, I was in a warm bed, with you

With gentle waves and quiet breathing and nothing else between us.
