Mist kicked up by gusts
Far off places leave their scent on beaded drops
This ocean is mine
Each cracked angle of foam that never stops
Licking rocks to sand
Ever making patterns on my beached mind
Floating natures toys
Buried in your breath for me to find

Agreed! That was my favorite line as well! I also like how you described the decay of rocks to sand as the water "licking" it. Good one! Thanks for sharing!

I second the above sentiments. i liked the feeling i got from 'this ocean is mine' a lot. It conjurs for me the idea of feeling very close to the sea, to nature, and it's pretty.
