Ocean
The ocean is fierce, waves crashing against the shore
The sound wakens me and I am lulled to the water
I hear nothing but the waves, fast and strong
But I no longer feel fear, only joy as I sing a song
My voice is lost, the waves beating against the shore
I can feel cool liquid against my skin as I sing
Somewhere a seagull calls, flying high above
It too is also singing a lovely song
As it sours through the cloudless sky
Together we sing a song that is not harmony
But is beautiful just the same
Me, the bird and the waves of the ocean
Each with our own voice.
One soft and timid, one loud and shrill
And one angry and fierce
And as I look out over the never ending water
The waves are beautiful, crashing against the shore
And I am not afraid of them anymore.
Yay! GREAT poem! I LOVED it. :)
