Debbiewrites

The waves ripple around me,
calling me in a whisper,
Into the deepest part of the ocean.
As I walk on the soft sand,
the water sweeps over my feet,
surrounding where I stand,
giving me the sweetest sensation.

Oh ocean,
why do I feel so attracted to you?
Why do I feel the tickling of your whispers?
As it causes cold shivers down my spine.
I could hear your gentle lullaby,
It roars like a lion, yet so steady and honest
Just like a refined diamond.

Oh, sea, why do you call my name in a whisper?
Caressing waves upon the shore,
Once again you beckon me.
Why do you show yourself at my doorstep?
Why do I feel your presence everywhere I go?
Why do you call me so desperately?
I want to know, cause when the sea calls?
Who will answer?

WHEN THE SEA CALLS

Celia left and Rhea slowed down her walking step, waiting impatiently for Louie. She kept staring at her wristwatch to be sure she wasn't late for school yet; she didn't want to get into trouble. As she waited, she began to hum a song.

Soon, she saw Louie's car coming; she began to wave. The car stopped in front of her and Louie popped his head out.

"Hi, Rhea," he waved at her. "How are you today?"

"Hi, Louie. I am good. How are you?"

"I am doing great." He opened the door and stepped out. "It's good to see you." He walked closer to her and hugged her.

"Why do I feel like you look so beautiful today?"

"Are you trying to tease me? I look so horrible."

"You do not look horrible, Rhea. But it seems like you did not get enough sleep. Did you?"

"I did not," Rhea said truthfully. "I had a lot going on in my mind. And don't ask me what it is. Because I won't share."
