Like the tide
I shall crash upon the shore
Let my waves
Rush upon you
And remove all sense of being.

Floating in the water
The tide
Pushing and pulling
Forever free
Changing
Morphing
Emerging new.

True freedom
Is that like the tide?

Always the same
Always different
Always on time
Yet unpredictable.

I see
Yet I don't
I feel
Yet I float in nothingness
So warm
So cold.

Bound by rules
Truly
Can we call it freedom?
Knowing no rules
The tide.

Everything is still
True peace
Would stay forever
Could be reality
Impossibilities.

Always noisy
Always quiet
Ever peaceful
The tide.

The tide
The ocean
Home
Safety.

Far away
Dangerous
The ocean
The tide.

Eating the old
Giving birth to the new
Mother and executioner
The tide.

So strangely
Like home
Water and
Air.

My peace
My happiness
My tide.
For the October bounty/prompt in NavigatorsOfTheMist

It's been awhile since I last wrote a poem.

I don't know where I wanted to go with this. It sort of just came to be on it's own. And in all honesty, a lot of it is simply how I feel, when I'm near water/the ocean, and what it felt like when I floated around in the salt spa, during my summer vacation.
This isn't something that many people know, I don't remember, really, but I like being near water. I am at my happiest, when I'm surrounded by water and air. Open space, the ocean and fresh air - to me, it's the epitome of peaceful. I could look at the ocean for hours without getting bored.

Dude, random on-the-spot poetry is always the best, though~!
