I wrote this sooo long ago, but I've always like it. I hope you all do too!
The rain hits the windows, smacking the empty shell of my brain. I need to get away. The rain falls steadily on the ever giving ever taking ocean. Standing on the edge of the sea, I see the white caps, the swells and the ever different waves.
The wind whispers to me, the rain gently kisses my upturned face.
Off come my shoes. I step into the blue, cold, cold water, the sensation sending tiny shivers up and down my spine.
The wind still whispering secrets of water spirits in my ears, I step in farther, then farther. A wave crashes against my knee and I stumble, arms pinwheeling in the air, to stand firmly once again.
I take off my jacket and hold it to the wind, a black kite sailing in a lightning storm. I let go. The jacket, suddenly free, whips away. I watch it grow smaller and smaller until it disappears behind the silver clouds.
I walk farther in, my shorts soaking wet. I close my eyes and let a wave crash over my head.
Underneath the water the world is silent. Only the moving of the waves above me let me know I'm not dead. I feel my lungs start to ache with the need for air, and suddenly I'm sad. I'm sad to leave my perfectly silent underwater world.

Huh.... reminds me of a thingy I read once, a long time ago. Don't remember where it was. Something about someone walking into the ocean and disappearing... It's something that I seem to be able to imagine very clearly. Huh.
Good poem.

Glad you liked. It came from my own personal love of being underwater... Er, thank you!
