Laying here in the soft golden sand
Beauty around takes me by the hand
Calm and shimmering waves all around
Listening to the soothing sounds
How wonderful the ocean can make us feel
How we take it for granted of the power it has on us
The destruction the ocean can cause
That we somehow deserve
Silver waves crashing against the sharp rocks
Trying to hold myself together
Gather a meaning of life and identity
The silver wave’s give me a sense of strength
All the emotions and turmoil within
Vanishes into the ocean as I swim
Going out into my own world
Numb with the cold water
That presses all over my skin
No thoughts
Swimming out so far out
No one can hurt me now
No one can talk to me, touch me
I want to be alone
Soft and silent
Away from the stresses and strains
Like a mermaid in silver waves
Swimming deep down below
Hiding from my dark, twisted soul
Hiding from memories and pure pain
Swimming deeper down
Now it’s getting cold
Refreshing my soul
Gliding along the sand and stones
Can I not stay in this tranquil peace
As the sun goes down
The moons magic shines on the water
Making the silver waves glow
Getting colder, getting deeper
Losing breath, holding on
Clutching onto hope
The undercurrent takes me into its world
Everything is put into perspective
For this moment in time
Must hold onto hope
Much calmer now, much stronger
I break free out of the water
It’s nice to be alone
Now I have to swim back home
Another day to come

I'm sorry but I have to remove this because of some of the rhymes. But thanks for entering.

When you're in your element, everything is put into perspective.
Nope, this poem isn't weak at all. It's truly amazing how the sea has this hypnotic ability to entrance us, and to give us an outlet; a serene place that we can go to savor the solitude of home.

That goes to show, that divers make good poets, cause I dive too
True when you dive you are in a different world where nothing can touch you from the outside world
Good write, best of luck -
Rocking on with the rocking on....
