I embrace the wind and it rides along my back for it understands my direction.

When needed I move gracefully with precision.

I rise with strength and fall with humility for I am fluid.

I am progressive, flowing in and out impacting all that surrounds me.

I kiss the shoreline with my feminine prowess.

I am as gentle as a feather and yet the weight of my presence can be crushing.

I am direct, I am deep, and I am creative with my space.

I am cold at times, bold, and empowered.

I provide solace for those in need of peace and clarity of mind.

I add laughter and excitement or fear and love to those who experience my presence.

I am always assertive, and my existence is forever known.

I am the Ocean.
