Does it hit you like it hits me?

(By Samiha Habib)

I have always wondered... is it just me? Or does everyone wish for something else?

Does anyone else wish to board a ship and sail away.. with no storms to damper your never ending journey?

Just a peaceful setting
A soft breeze surrounding you
The salty smell filling your nose, making you sigh with pleasure
and as you watch the waves your lips slowly curve into a permanent smile

A place where all your problems, all your pain, all your suffering is blown away by the breeze. And every mile you sail away from the world your burden seems to lessen.

This is what I want, what I need, what I crave
To go on an epic journey
To sail away from everything
To live without conflicts, drama and sexual dilemmas
To let my naked self run free around the ship, my laughter floating freely
To dance to my own rhythm, my hair swinging, my hips swaying, my feet bouncing
To be able to surrender to temptation without the dire consequences
To neither love nor hate
To only endure the emotions of joy and passion (loveless mind you)
To have my mind erase the meaning of sadness, anger, and jealously
To speak as I please, to speak without thinking, and to speak without consequences
To hear nothing but the wind, the waves and the sound of my movements.
To be in peace
