The Ocean at Twilight

Few things are as magical as the ocean at night. To be able to feel the power of this force of nature through the darkness is humbling. Slowly advancing to the surf as if approaching a greatness and majesty unmatched in the universe. The salty spray carried upon the winds to delicately kiss your lips and caress your cheeks like the familiar embrace of a long-lost lover.

Slowly dipping your toe into the warm liquid and foam as the endless ebbs and flows of the waves born eons ago across the expanse to finally lap at the beautiful curve of your foot. To know the mighty ocean at night is to glimpse a taste of God. To be taken adrift in it's current beyond the breakers and beneath the low, full summer moon is an ecstasy few have the courage to fully embrace. I have taken this privilege and floated upon her as all the cares of existence were drowned out by the roar of her fury beating upon the shore again, and again, and again and feel more alive for doing so.

I have had the joy and rapture of knowing her secrets shared only at the twilight of the night when all is still in the world except the restless souls who dare not sleep because that is when the demons come for their due. The ocean has sheltered me from the pain countless times and has always been my refuge from the pain. She is such a selfless mistress only asking for complete adoration and devotion of her lovers.
