Hey, life? Are you kidding me?

Do you "sea" what I "sea"

here is the prompt for day 19.

In all or any of it's forms or uses- What does the sea mean to you?

I've only seen the ocean, beach, etc. once. So I"m going to resort to a poem I wrote about what I think the sea is like and about.

"A Lifetime In my Mind"

Once I grasped your beauty,
for all my life and beyond.
In an instant, I understood
your timelessness.

Gentle waves lapped at thirsty legs,
as sandy grains tickled gripping toes.
Washing off my earthly virginity,
giving freely your cleansing touch.

Like a new lover, uncharted,
I fell for you - body and mind.
Longing for more, fearing the unknown,
unable to escape from your gifts.

Sun on my skin, reminder of
coolness you provide hungry souls.
Eyes seeing beyond reality,
vastness encompassing a fearful earth.

Your salty taste caressed my lips.
Resolve surrendered; senses alive.
Peace overtaking, stress unknown,
gathering me in your embrace.

Consuming, erasing worries,
giving me your protection.
As I allowed myself to sink
into your depths, you lifted me up.

In all masses of time, this brevity
I cherish, but must relinquish.
Standing, as drops of your passion
fell from my skin like unshed tears.

Each step, I heard a soft calling,
whispering words only I knew.
This time was but a moment in life,
yet a lifetime in my mind.
