&quot;...I wrote because that was who I was at the core, and if I was too damaged to walk around the block, I was lucky all the same. Once I got to my desk, once I started writing, I still believed anything was possible.&rdquo; <br /> -Alice Hoffman


Step into the waves at high tide
Let the water flow
Feel it glide
Duck into the salt and foam
Enter inside

Hear the ocean roar
Swim in and let your heart soar
You've never felt so strongly before
You're not numb anymore

Let nature's beauty past your defenses
Keep this in your memory, use all senses
In the ocean's breeze feel yourself become
Complete

Thank you, this poem is one that I wrote a while ago but the last stanze is my favorite too.

I love the ocean though I don't get to go there as often as I'd like. Great detail. This poem is picturesque. and the last stanza is the best.
