Ocean

There is a little bit of ocean in everyone,
from the passionate throes of life when the salinity of the emotions flows
we flaunt the ocean within...

There is a little sand you carry back from the ocean
when you crash onto the shores of your own being
in desperate measures of self destruction
you wear the ocean on your name, your mind ...your attitude.

There is a little bit of ocean in all our lives
the gentle blueness of it all
the wide overstretched watery grave yard
The possibility of a relationship never ending from eternity to the endless horizon
to the umpteen stories of those lost to the sea.


There is a little bit of restlessness you carry on your soul
once you hold the untold, the fathomless ocean,
up your heart
into your veins and drench your soul.


There is a little bit of ocean in all of us
untold
when we run and leap toward those we would never meet
when we hold the shores we can never keep,
when we see the moonlight right over our hearts
and open ourselves to an illusion that vanishes with the Sun.

There is a little bit of ocean in all of us....
