On the Ocean Waves
Echoing seas rise,
I settle in for the eve
on a boat of memories.
I float parallel
to the perilous breaking
of tides, crashing near the shore.
Unaware of risk,
I dream under starlit sky,
reflections of yesteryear.
Joyful days of youth
sparkle on the ocean waves
embracing me with their glow.
Rocked by endless sea,
each wave is a mystery
bearing life and aged secrets.
Divulging desires
and nature's rhythm of truth
into the depths of my soul.
Ev'ry starlit night,
you will find me here.
I am free, one with the sea.
