”She told me that the ocean 

had been calling out her name 

when the tide went out each evening 

she felt like she should do the same 

The waves tugged at her ankles 

as they pooled around her feet 

whispering of wonders 

that she still was yet to meet 

But every time i asked her 

if she knew the reason why 

she simply said this arid world 

had turned her deep heart dry 

There was just one way she knew of 

to finally feel like she was free 

and it was 14000 feet beneath 

the cold and stormy sea
