Poetry: The ocean

Deep, mysterious, summoning;

plaintive cry in the arms of Morpheus.

What calm would it be to give in

amidst the fathomless depths,

dark, abysmal, wallowing;

hollow words in the bottom of despair.




How tempting to let go of the lifeboat;

be lost in the hypnotic, azure blue.

Let go and rest amongst the aged rocks.

Be part of the calm, harmless current,

where underneath nothing matters,

but a welcomed sleep of death.

    OCEAN

    The oceans are great and wide.
    Boundaries where land does slide.
    Deep waters in harbors round.
    Giant waves all earthy bound.
