Eternal Life: Poem

When I was lost and near death the ocean took my lifeless hands and breathed into them.

I was instantly hydrated by its liquid life.

I swam and swam until I reached the destination I desired.

As I look back at the water it smiles at me.

Urging me to keep pushing, keep living, life.

I will never forget when the ocean shared a part of itself with me and breathed
inspiration into my merely human body.

Nature is inside of me now, a piece of my limbs.

I promise I will never let the ocean down.

Because it has high hopes for me in the world I am plunging into.

I will have to hold my breath and swim to my eventual freedom.
