The sea is calling me.
Get Published on Female First
In my world of cell phones I can’t escape,
too many emails to answer,
the blah, blah, blah of a million different voices,
always, always,
there’s a private room in my mind called “memory.”
Filled with sand, salty breezes and seashells,
where seagulls cry above me,
and whispering waves kiss my toes.
The sea is calling me.
I pick up a shell,
hold it to my ear
and listen to what the ocean tells me.
Shhhhhhhh.
