"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
