Why the Ocean Flows

I think I know why the ocean flows* to keep our sweet souls in touch with those who once we knew on another sphere with memories of love that we hold dear We sit astride as we catch a ride upon galloping white horses we dip we dive surrounded by her cloak of blue so free are we on her ever changing hue On reaching our place this place where they go Is it Paradise ~ Utopia Oh no that’s not so For our special place is much better by far a magical place we call Shangri-La… *taken from a poem written by Vijay Pandit titled 'I think I know why the ocean flows' Written 14th April 2020 Contest Poetic lines from a Poetry Soup poet - Vijay Pandit Sponsor Silent One 2nd PLACE Contest Strand Pick 12 Sponsor Brian Strand 1st PLACE
