Ocean Pacifica

“Ocean Pacifica”

by Nicole Costa

Island paradise 

At last we meet 

Though I feel 

I’ve been here before 

If only in dreams 

All of the memories

Resurfacing 

360 degrees 

Surround sound 

Ocean waves 

Are all around 

I’m in my element 

Dolphin 

Whistles for me 

Calls me 

To the sea 

Teaching me 

To balance 

Living in 

Three worlds

Simultaneously 

Cleansing me 

Etherically  

Healing deep

Inside of me 

The pain of all my

Earthbound duties 

She says 

Leave the earthly 

Shores behind

Swim with 

Turtle Spirit

Awhile 

Learn to 

Slow down 

Release time 

Give yourself 

The same love 

You have given 

Unto others

Even healers 

Need their healing 

Even warriors 

Need their Mother 

Let go of 

All your feelings  

Let my salt 

Wash over you  

Buffering emotions

Restoring anew 

Removing impurities

Preparing for 

A new journey 

One of an old way 

So rest up

Stay hydrated 

And

Take some 

Time to play 

There’s a 

Full Moon

Approaching

In the sign of Aries 

The ram won’t let us 

Stay stagnant too long

Take advantage of

The down time 

While you have it

Soon enough 

You’ll be traveling 

To a new song 

Whale 

Blows water

Through

Its hole 

Signals that it’s 

Time to go 

Deeper 

See you 

On the other side 

Brace yourself 

For the ride 

We’re going 

Even deeper 

Ocean Pacifica 

In your presence 

I feel so small

I’m in awe 

Of all your beauty

Your ability 

To take it all 

From me 

So unaffectedly 

While holding space 

For more 

Abundant treasures 

Can be found   

At the bottom 

Of your floor 

You’re doing 

Something to me 

That I’ve never 

Felt before 

It is soothing 

You are inspiring  

Thank you 

For your nurturing 

Even water 

Needs a drop 

Of itself 

From time to time 

To quench the thirst 

Of the deep dry well 

That only another 

Of its kind can fill 

Mastering emotions 

Like a flame 

On top of water 

Neither igniting 

Nor immersing 

Dissolving 

All the hardness 

Samskaras 

Impressions 

Left behind 

From many deaths 

That have past 

The tears of 

Thousands of years 

Upon thee I cast 

These burdens down 

At the feet of one 

Who can bear it 

Your depth is vast 

You always find 

A way in 

To the deepest 

And darkest 

Of spaces 

You have the ability 

To transport me 

Between worlds 

Lead me astray 

To far away places

Your intensity 

It has a 

Gravitational 

Pull on me 

Gaia 

She draws me in

And she 

Embraces me 

With all her glory 

All her majesty 

Supreme love

Of

Divine Femininity 

Part of me 

That’s missing 

A mother’s love 

Sweet ocean lullaby

For thee I write

On this long

And

Sleepless

Libran night
