My Thalassophobia

I  play with the sand, 
crush it to a globe of
sun dried golden particles,

until the thing in me 
that is the ocean calls to 
release it to the tide

so full of  the incessant 
sorrow  upon sorrow of other’s  tears
forced daily to kiss the shore-

its roar constantly reminding me-
the ocean hates the land-
the ocean does not love the land. 
 

  Note:  Thalassophobia is a specific phobia that involves an intense and persistent fear of deep bodies of water, such as the ocean, seas, or lakes.
