Malibu

While staring at the waves

i can stare at the waves 

crashing over and over 

the scenery may seem repetitive 

but it is ever changing 

the currents move different ways

high tide, low tide

the winds push and pull

unpredictable, at its finest.

the ocean brings me back

to my roots of hawai’i

where i am constantly battling

a love and hate relationship 

but no matter where i go 

i yearn for the sea

to be near my side.

the ocean humbles me

calms my nerves

it understands my pain

my ever changing emotions.

i’ll continue to sit here

observing its next move

the ocean can be my voice

as we become one

in this very moment.
