Calling, calling, calling me always
Ocean full of salt, whales and mystery
Malleable, fitting me in, holding me up
Foreverness soaking me to the core
Oceans churning and changing
Revive my lost soul
To its splendor
Colors of azure, gray and green
Ocean full of canyons and riptides
Morning mist rising, dancing on crests
Fog of ordinary days lifts, crashing waves
Ocean kissing sand then slipping away
Reveals my life story, perpetual motion
Takes me to hidden depths of restless peace
Created in my backyard
Oceanette full of silver and leaves
My pool of joy awaits
Folding me into it’s depth of but 5 feet
Oceanette bubbles and swirls
Relieving my pains, releasing my fears
Touched by heaven’s tears I am
Comforted always
Oceans, rivers, lakes, pools of water
Made when our star was born
Foreverness evolving calms me,
Oceans capacity for peace and rage
Reminds my self-centered spirit
To balance, to change, to evolve

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.
