Wait for the Water

As the waves
Roll
I'm swept
Away.
With another
Chance
For another
Day.

For years I have
Longed
To be part of the
Sea.
From the shore I have
Wished
For the waves to want
Me.

My wish has been
Granted
By the ocean--my
Friend.
My wait for the
Water
Has come to an
End.

The ocean now
Takes me.
I am lonely
No more.
But I'll always look
Back
And remember the
Shore.
