the ocean

what is it about water. it draws me. i quicken my steps in anticipation. the views, the sounds. the gentleness of its ripples, the crashing of its waves, the brilliance of the sun as it plays off the surface. it's soothing, invigorating, a constant. a fog rolls in and covers it in mystery, a storm infuriates it. rocks shatter the waves, the morning calms it.
