Out into the ocean blue;
Behind me lay a bustling city,
In front, a pristine view.
As I sat and contemplated life,
Of the unfair hand fate had dealt;
And all those unending years of sorrow,
At last into tears did melt.
With scathed heart and bruised feelings,
And no one to share my hurt;
The stoic demeanour finally shattered,
My bleeding wound lay unearthed.
I cried as a man, wept as child,
Till all tear had run dry;
Poured out my heart to the kind ocean,
And she listened with neither word nor sigh.
Vent I did my anger, weep out the pain,
Let flow my grief like incessant rain;
Opened I to the ocean, held I not back,
Like child to mother- unashamed, unabashed.
The ocean is impartial, her waves never unfair,
She doth not favour able seaman and try careless heir;
With same carefree abandon doth she flow the world over,
In calm floats even little boat, in fury sinks even mighty ocean liner.
And with same equanimity did she- the ocean,
Serene, uninterrupting -hear me out;
Uncomplaining did she give me audience,
As I gave cry, whimper, moan and then some shout;
And when words finally did cease,
Silence hung heavy in the air tranquil;
And in that moment of peace,
I heard the ocean smile!
Then I knew my worries were swallowed,
By the ocean in her deep blue waters;
And with light heart and spring in step,
I set out to meet life with new found zest.
Of beautiful life with wondrous sights to see,
Just set out had I on my journey of many a mile;
Renewed, reborn, resurrected into new being-
I had heard the beautiful ocean smile...
