An Ocean's Interlude

Upon an ocean's view beheld While on its splended Shore; Its crashing waves now call to me, A peaceful gentle Lore. The wonder of its vast embrace Quells each resounding thought. To know that God created it, Its peace to me is brought. While high above the seagulls cry, Their black eyes at me Stare. They watch me quelled in sad regret, My pain to all is Bare. Emotions flowing like the tide, They rise and fall each day; Yet here my feelings that I hide, Just gently float away. Beneath each wave a world resides, Just like my outer Skin; Where all my pain and hurt resides, That rages fierce Within. The soft warmth of the sands embrace, Bestills my aching heart; It helps to fill my loneliness Where you were once a part. As days turn slowly into years, Our love doth fade Away. No longer can I guide our fate, Then where the ocean Sway. Upon my heart you'll always dwell Just like the oceans shore; To find the ending of its reach; Our love that was...No more!
