"There is a serenity and brutalty within the ocean. It is at once life giving and life destroying. We human beings carry the same polarities within" ~By Poet The undulating mass of teal blue stretches vast Waves flap as they glide whispering a song in my ears I feel the calm and the chaos all at once in this boundless deep Standing by the side of this pulsing molecules of brine Watching the breakers that pound on the shore And looking at the melee of waves and tides I wonder if we can ever tame its waters Or silence its rising tumult The waters, sometimes is at peace, but it’s only a truce Like the ocean, within us rise never ending fracas But beneath the whirls and tides, is a quiet strange. Is not there a parallel between man and the ocean Both a cosmos in themselves so impenetrable, Giving us visions of things unseen Beating with a thrilling pulse And moving on with no desire to halt With an insatiable longing to possess As under the clamorous surface of the ocean, mysteries sleep What all secrets in the hidden chambers of our heart we keep As no one knows an ocean’s reach and sinuous strength None on earth can fathom the depths of a human heart
