Forevermore Poem by James Casey

Forevermore

I was dreaming of the sea.
She was washing over me.
I could hear the ocean's roar,
Hear her calling, me, forevermore

I walked into the water,
Felt the water rise,
Covering my knees,
Climbing past my thighs.

Even with my chest,
Lapping at my chin,
To above my eyes,
Now you know I'm in.

I was floating past this land,
Some forgotten beach with sand.
The ocean's coat I wore
As she whispered forevermore

And it washed me far away
From where I used to stay,
To a distant, distant shore
Where I'll rest forevermore
