By Helen Lemus

The ocean calls
With a song,
A piece
Of eternity
In a lullaby
Soothing me to sleep.

Cold, clean water,
Salty,
Slaps my cheeks,
And morning
Laughs at me
Sleeping
While there are so many
Seeds
To plant.

Beneath
Warm suns,
A sonata
Props up
My sore soul
Straight from the ocean's
Deepest heart
Where the Earth
Begins.
