The Ocean

I am very blessed to live by the ocean. The ocean is an amazing place that we as humans know very little about. It remains a beautiful mystery. 

The ocean

I watch the ocean
Every day;
From tranquil to stormy - 
Always constant, 
Come what may.

Reflecting the truth
That life will go on,
No matter the season,
No matter the qualm.

Depths unknown,
Mysteries thrill;
Never ceasing,
Never still.

I watch the ocean
Every night;
It is my touchstone,
A visual delight...

Speaking to me directly;
My soul's core. 
Always a reminder of
Heaven's power.

Lovely poem, Michelle. I never thought that we are like mirrors of the ocean. Your poem would go well on a sign or similar item that's on a wall of a beachside home!

Thank you for your wonderful message and ideas, David. I've been considering a few of these, so I appreciate the confirmation, so to speak. Have a lovely day and take care. :-)
