Longing for the Sea

The sand beneath me

Warming my skin

My eyes long for the sea

The coral's colours

A rainbow of blue, green, orange, red, yellow, pink, purple.

Too beautiful to fully understand

My body longs for the sea

The fish running

Playing in the shallow waters

My heart longs for the sea

The feeling of being free

I am alive

I long for the sea

To be one with the ocean

To feel connected.

I long for Australia 

For the Great Barrier Reef

For my home

I long.
