Ocean

Ocean, with your strength may I merge Teach me the lesson of when to rest and to surge Command me, so that I may listen at last Hold me in stasis until all troubles have past Ocean, you know what it is to be strong Enlighten me, so I accept when I am wrong I'm weary but right now I cannot just fail Give me clarity, Ocean, support me to sail Ocean, this life seems overwhelmingly tough Though I try, I feel that I am never enough I wish to roll with the waves, 'til I'm settled and calm Please hear me Ocean, for this is my psalm

Hello Di, there is a proverb saying knowledge like ocean. So, we all (people) knew little. Nice psalm! Best regards and wishes, AA

Thank you AA - there seems to be a lot more to the ocean than we can comprehend. Thank you for your comment

An awesome psalm representing the gifts of the ocean. The ocean is magical, works best to ask it for these things you inscribe if you're there, in it, feeling it's crushing of your bones when high tide, trembling from its cold and laughing waves. Love your entry, wow.
