Ocean Man

The old man lived in a cove where the ocean meets the sand every night as the sun went down by the seaside he would stand, and look out over the ocean at the things that he might show and look out over the waves at the dreams he once did know, some say he was abandoned some say was left alone some say he craved for freedom so he wandered from his home, the only things thats certain is when the nights are born from days you could find the old man staring with the seaside in his gaze, tis remembered around the town as the day the ocean cried tis the day it was announced that the ocean man had died, the only thing thats certain is when the days turn into nights you can still see the old man with the ocean in his sights, where the wind blows the waves to the shore without a care if you look hard you can see him and if you blink he is'nt there...
