Waves

The​ ​voice​ ​of​ ​the​ ​sea 

Speaks​ ​to​ ​the​ ​soul. 

It​ ​is​ ​higher​ ​than 

The​ ​heavens 

Deeper​ ​than​ ​the​ ​hot​ ​core 

Of​ ​Earth. 

Life​ ​is​ ​like  

The​ ​ocean 

It​ ​is​ ​calm​ ​and​ ​peaceful 

Or​ ​it​ ​is  

Rigid​ ​and​ ​terrifying 

But​ ​in​ ​the​ ​end 

It​ ​is​ ​beautiful. 

Sometimes 

The​ ​hardest​ ​words​ ​to​ ​say 

Are​ ​the​ ​ones​ ​we​ ​mean 

The​ ​most. 

So​ ​meet​ ​me​ ​where​ ​the​ ​sky 

Touches​ ​the​ ​sea. 

I​ ​promise​ ​I’ll​ ​be​ ​there. 

Waiting. 

Waiting​ ​for​ ​the​ ​miracle 

That​ ​will​ ​bring​ ​us​ ​together. 

I’ve​ ​seen​ ​the​ ​stories​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sea. 

Old​ ​and​ ​new. 

Remembered​ ​and​ ​forgotten. 

And​ ​in​ ​all​ ​those​ ​words 

I​ ​saw​ ​myself. 

Waiting.  

Waiting​ ​for​ ​you​ ​to​ ​sail​ ​with​ ​me. 

We​ ​hold​ ​all​ ​these​ ​emotions​ ​inside​ ​ourselves. 

That​ ​we​ ​never​ ​let​ ​go​ ​of. 

They​ ​hold​ ​us​ ​down​ ​like​ ​anchors. 

They​ ​drown​ ​us​ ​in​ ​the​ ​sea. 

We​ ​are​ ​waves. 

Dancing​ ​with​ ​the​ ​sun. 

Kissing​ ​the​ ​shoreline. 

Our​ ​lives​ ​are​ ​like​ ​the​ ​sea. 

We​ ​are​ ​moving​ ​without​ ​end. 

Nothing​ ​stays​ ​with​ ​us. 

What​ ​remain​ ​are​ ​memories 

Of​ ​people 

Who​ ​touched​ ​our​ ​hearts 

As​ ​waves. 

Because​ ​near​ ​the​ ​waves, 

Life​ ​is​ ​different. 

Time​ ​doesn't​ ​move 

Hour​ ​to​ ​hour. 

But​ ​mood​ ​to​ ​moment. 

We​ ​live​ ​like​ ​the​ ​currents, 

Plan​ ​by​ ​the​ ​tides, 

And​ ​follow​ ​the​ ​sun. 

People​ ​are​ ​like​ ​oceans. 

Some​ ​parts​ ​are​ ​visible.  

But​ ​others  

You​ ​can’t​ ​see​ ​the​ ​shallow​ ​pools​ ​of​ ​truth 

And​ ​the​ ​deep​ ​pools​ ​of​ ​dark​ ​mysteries. 

We​ ​belong​ ​to​ ​the 

Ocean.
