The Ocean That Floats and Sinks

Life is like an ocean And a dreamer is like the ship that floats on it Dreams are built out of lack and limitations Such are the salty waters on which you must float Ocean water is too salty to drink Yet on it the boat floats best Your dreams are like fresh water ...with the potential to quench your thirst and satisfy your heart So as a dreamer you need not drink the salty water ....that is the society’s opinions The same ocean that floats a mighty boat ...is known to drown many more But a boat only drowns when the ocean water leaks into it You are like a boat ...surrounded by the endless stretch of ocean called SOCIETY On this ocean you should float ...but if you allow this ocean’s water to slowly leak into the boat of your dreams ...the world is sure to mourn the loss of yet another fine boat
