Falling Into Ocean, Sinking Into Sea
Like falling into stillness - like stars that make no sound,
I’m falling into ocean; there’s nothing I can do,
and ever since a person’s birth, there is no solid ground.
Tears have made this ocean, and with all humanity,
I’m foundering while drowning, sinking into sea.
Time, the endless grains of sand, surrounds these depths of blue.
After so much time, who’ll remember you or me?
And at this ocean’s bottom, whatever will be found?
