The Price of Paradise.

I am the ocean.
Deep and boundless, soft yet strong.
I have depths within my soul no man has discovered.
I am the giver of life; children of stardust are born from my belly.
Taker of sailor hearts, my storm will consume you.
I am powerful, raging waters course my veins.
I am ruled by the mysteries of the Moon
Her magic pulls me to her always,
lighting my way, guiding me.

You were drawn to me, eyes locked on my horizon.
You thought it was my end, it was only just my beginning.
You came closer to me than those before you.
You didn’t wash away in my current.
You stood strong against my beating tides. You were my rock.
An island landscape we became.
Paradise.

And I, the ocean, I became drawn to you too.
Can my heart belong to both the Land and Sky?
Your kiss crashes over me like waves over white sand.
Our embrace pulls me from Her; the Divine Feminine, giver of dreams, glowing Goddess of the night.
She is the beginning and end of all that is ‘me’.

Gravity weighs down on me.
Pushing me. Pulling me. Back and forth, endlessly.
Storms begin to form within my heart.
My raging hurricanes wash over you. Slowly yet surly eroding your stone exterior.
With my every breaking wave I change you.
I love you still the same.

Then the day comes when I no longer recognize the subtle curves of your shoreline.

So, this is the price of paradise.
