The Ocean Within Us

Learning to move on

The Ocean Within Us

Is it not just absolutely marvelous

to sit and stare at the ocean?

To realize that no matter how still you become

its waters will never cease to flow

Such is that power of life, it cannot be stopped

How scary too, for isn't it ruthless?

Aren't you furious?

Wake up, you've been robbed

All your choices, your decisions, they've been denied

It is merely an illusion

Your heart will never stop beating

Your blood will never stop flowing

your thoughts will never stop rushing

not until you die

And when that moment comes, you will fall

on an ever moving ground

The clock will keep on ticking

The oceans will keep on rising

But, perhaps, we aren't meant to stop the waters

perhaps we aren't meant to put out fires

Maybe all we need to do is flow

like the ocean at our feet

Maybe, we should all, just let go
