I listened to the ocean today
As the wind blew in melodic waves
It’s a sound I’ve never forgotten
Such a place I’ll forever crave
The sea so soothingly tranquil
Still playing its music in my head
Vivid memories of a distant shore
Seen from the comfort of my bed

I want to live
Where the waves crash upon the shore
To hear those tumultuous waves
Pounding like pistons
Smoothing every jagged rock
With timeless precision
Ever reminding me
Of the silver linings
Found in my afflictions
For with every persistent beating
Comes polished perfection

Swirling sands
And shifting tides
Dispelling the grains
Of ordinary matter
No real answers
As the waves flux
Just more questions
While time escapes
