i see the ocean

64 I see the ocean “I see the ocean” Who can say that every morning? Who can say “the boats are not gone.” Even the sea knows my secrets, “I’m tired of men”, “I am tired of empires, Who can say that every morning? “I see the ocean” Who can look before him, the vastness? To get rid of the deep night, to forget images of glasses and bottles every morning. to forget the unanswered question? Do you love me? « Je vois la mer » Qui peut dire cela chaque matin ? Qui peut dire « les bateaux n’ont pas bougé. » Même la mer connait mes secrets, « Je suis fatigué des hommes » « Je suis fatigué des empires » Qui peut dire chaque matin « Je vois la mer » Quelle chance, Qui peut regarder devant lui, l’immensité, Pour se débarrasser de la profonde nuit, Oublier chaque matin les images des verres et les bouteilles ? Oublier la question sans réponse ? M‘aimes-tu ?

Not everyone because there is not enough space at the ocean for all to be there. We do have an ocean of questions in our lives though and some get answered and some not. Thanks for sharing your thoughts or questions with us. Sara K

I, too, am tired of men, tired of empires...would prefer relishing the sound of the ocean waves upon quiet sands. I appreciated your poem and its message.

At the end of my street, I can see the sea. But no ocean. I saw glimpses of the ocean from my place, but not the same.
