Ocean

Oh dear ocean, are you roaring or crying?

I cannot fathom the depths of your sigh,

Your heart seems fragile, unable to bear

The weight of every burden, of every care.

I gaze upon your rolling waves,

And sense a secret, hiding in their embrace.

What troubles you, sweet ocean blue?

Pray, reveal your thoughts, let me comfort you.

At times, you behave like a child, full of wonder,

Seeking to cross the boundaries that encumber,

But your vast power kept at bay,

Only dreams of reaching an unknown bay.

Dear ocean, in your presence, my mind finds peace,

In your tranquil depths, all my worries cease.

Look to the burning sun, yearning to find,

A moment of respite, in your heart refined.

For the sun too seeks solace and rest,

To slumber by your side, on your icy chest.

Let it find tranquillity, let it be free,

In your unwavering embrace, let it be.

Do you know, dear ocean, of my hidden sea?

An ocean of tears, I am hiding in eyes, can you see?

It is vast and boundless, much larger than you,

With countless drops of sorrow, it continues to accrue.

Every day, rivers of pain flow into this vast sea,

Merging with the waves of my silent plea.

It is larger and deeper than you can perceive,

An ocean of sorrow, my heart cannot retrieve.

I know, dear ocean, you yearn for the moon above,

But destiny has bound you, unable to move.

Just as my love remains out of reach,

Many things are beyond what destiny will teach.

So, dear ocean, calm your roaring tide,

Sometimes, we must watch fate decide.

Unable to cross the shores that bound,

Our tears may find solace, as they surround us.

Let us weep together, dear ocean, in the twilight hour,

For in our tears, we find a common bower.

Though destiny may guide us, we must accept,

That some shores are forever kept.
