I spoke a lot
And then I stopped
I wrote a lot
Then I stopped
Silence was me communicating
My aloofness was me communicating
My love was dying, breathing its last
But then the loud waves of the ocean
Broke the silence in me
Sang the rhythm of the sad song
And I too sang along
My face had sprinkles of water of the ocean
or so I thought
It was tears finally
And I felt something shifting within meSomething coming to surface
The dark clouds of sadness finally found its way
Through tears, poured my heart
And a smile had its way
I still feel the void in my heart
But now I know this stillness is required
I am healing
Nature healed me
Thank you Ocean!
For you carry not just the heavy water within you
But the secrets of everyone who come to visit you
You read hearts
And you read minds
You show us what being mighty means
It means to forgive
It means to give
It means to move on
It means to stay still
It means to mop and sweep
The cobwebs of old, disturbing memories
You taught me to love myself
You taught me to live again
Oh Ocean, you are truly deep!
