The Calling
Dec 27, 2021
In this silence
I hear voices from the sea
The time when I sinked my head
Into the crashing waves
Trying not to get hit back to the shore
Finding balance to stay swinging and caressing each wave
The voice of the sea calling out my name
Repeating the same phrase over and over
I stay under water until I can’t breathe
The suffocation, the urge to take in air, to live
Enough of this
I emerge from beneath like a newly baptised child
The sailing boat like a tiny dot in the distance
Against the aquamarine blue waiting for me to swim towards it
Waiting to take me home
