I would love to understand your ocean,

Your waves, your currents & sea caves.

How sunlight reflects off your waters,

From dusk to dawn through clouds—

Of which you’ve spawn, so calm.

So tell me about these seasons,

& why we fall in love, and not,

Rise in it? Dive in it? Tell me,

Why we fear, we dread…

These very emotions,

Feelings and cravings,

That lift us, tickle us and,

Cleanse our minds to laugh,

In pride——for beauty to flow.

Then smiles to glow. So now,

Here we go, forever to row,

In an oceanic love boat,

To take on the waves,

Risk sinking, caught,

Down in a sea cave,

Drown, yet brave,

And drift all day,

Toward clouds,

That will lay,

Up above,

To say,

Live,

Laugh,

And love,

….okay?
