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 opened her eyes. It was morning again. She stared at the wall clock for a while, before standing up from the bed. It was just a few minutes to seven. Rhea still has some hours before Leslie comes to pick them up.

Their father had spoken to them yesterday about his need to travel, hoping they would be willing to stay with Leslie until he returns.

Rhea had thought at first that Celia would not want to go to Leslie's place and would prefer to stay with Rosa's family, which of course, their father would not be against, but she did not say that.

"That is not a bad idea," Celia had answered, and that settled the case.

Rhea who was curious to know why Celia agreed to go to Leslie's place without a second thought, asked Celia about it.

"Rosa told me they have a better sea view and a lot of fun places to go to," Celia had answered.

"Are you not going to miss Rosa?" Rhea had asked again.
