Goodbye and Thank you to the Ocean


Goodbye and thank you to the Ocean

Thank you for the memories

The nights of walking along the beach

The waves as they crashed at our feet

 

Thanks for the breeze blowing wind through our hair

The days we swam ocean without any care

Carried away by the current within

Feeling the sand as it grazes our skin

 

Thank you dear ocean for everything

The powerful winds and the waves that they bring

I hope to return here and visit someday

Let the current, the wind, and the waves wash away

 

I’ll always remember the sand in my toes

The tides as the ocean dwindles and grows

This moon as it shines a pale beam on our feet

This summer I’m certain, I’ll never repeat.

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
