Ocean Calling

*Writing helps us through anything.


Oh, the ocean is calling me
Collecting the shells at the sea
Watching the curling, rolling waves,
wash away pain that enslaves
My dreams are on horizon there
I will make them come true with care
This is my chance, footprints behind
Left just like the shells I find
I am as simple as the sea shell
I can be fragile, just as well
But, strong enough, not left broken
From the ocean that has spoken
