A Lil Something To Tempt You...

Decided to try something a lil bit different from my usual style....bear with me, patient reader....

sitting on the beach....staring at the waves.....seems somehow like you can do anything...the crash sounding like cymbals in your hollow head....walk, slowly, purposefully to the waterline...your feet touch the waves....lap at your toes.....turn back, your footsteps vanish....like you were never actually there.....

turn back to the water.....refuse to give up....refuse to acknowledge that no one gives a damn.....walk a lil deeper....waves crash....hurt you...hurl you....you still stand...the urge to prove to the world that you are not insignificant...i'm important, you scream....i matter...you can't throw me away.....ho hum...the wave crashes....you fall....float....stand up with a yell....no.....i will stand...you can't....and then....you can....gentle waves...docile waves...entice...pull you closer....deeper....too much water...you go under....silence....nothing matters...stinging saltwater in your eyes....lungs bursting for a stab of air.....the sun shining on the top of dark, muddy water....make it to the top...gasp....another wave....rise above....breathe....

king of the world....triton...god of the seas....

reach the waterline....waves seem a little pathetic...could something this little have caused the tsunami???? i'm significant, screams the wave, almost a response...i'm important....ya right....you walk away from it...flicking the water from your legs.....plunge into the hot sand....hop....it burns....

turn back and look at the sea.....
