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

Rhea was dressed in the black gown she had gotten for Louie's birthday. This was going to be the first time she would be going to school without her uniform.

Rhea stared at herself in the mirror. Aside from the black dress she wore, nothing seemed different from the way she always dressed to school; her uniform was the only thing missing.

She should be ready to go. She thought. She doesn't have anything else to add to the way she is dressed and she doesn't plan to take anything out of it either.

Rhea picked up her bag and was ready to leave. She heard a knock on her door.

"Rhea?" Celia called out softly. "Are you in? Can I come in?"

Celia opened the door and walked in. "I knew it," she mumbled.

Rhea furrowed her brows. "What do you know?"
