Athirst, solivagant my mind…
drifting towards the sea crystalline…
And I inmingle into the waters saline…
brine of my eyes in the endless brine…
as an ebullient river cascading into the sea and
losing its existence in its
embrace divine…

Hypnotizing hues of blue and green…
fathomless, forgiving and hauntingly serene…
In the ebb and flow of the
milky pure waves,
all my sins placidly washed clean…

And deeper as I delve
in the middle of the sea…
sodden, quenched and drenched,

it claims every inch of my entity…

with no horizon, no land in vicinity…

I find my aquatic heart

imbued in pelagic sanctity…

I find my tranquil soul

lost in eternal serenity…

I find myself… I find me…
