Ocean speaks

Do you ever wonder what the ocean would say

If you communicated in waves

Or understood sea foam sprays

The expansive roar

And deafening pause

The golden light that skips across its rolling stage

The sun that dances during the day

Its liquid lava of intelligent rays

Yet without concern quietly slip away

As day gives way

The light fades

The voluminous depth of increasing shade

The sun surrendered to the night

Silver waters

Gliding moonlit light

In the dark what does the ocean become

In the void of black so vast

Timeless shadows away from the sun

How does it know, why can it see

Into the waters of future and past

Unfurling it all within your blood

With liquid force

Flowing and ebbing you undone

In cyclic rhythm, in tidal phase

The ocean knows water just needs to be

In organic movement, to be free

No control, not restrained

Then here you are returned again

First light giving way to day

The sunrise animates more ocean waves

I’m listening now, what will it say?
