On the subject of the sea (also written originally as song lyrics):
Heaven’s Ocean
Standing at the world’s edge, watching, as the crystal waves
Shatter on the uncompromising sand,
Bringing the haughty foam down to its knees, pleading for mercy
Even as the last flecks die an ignoble death.
Every tear that rolls off my cheeks, finds its final resting place
With its salty brethren, but its soul soars heavenwards,
Adding a drop, single and pure,
To heaven’s ocean.
And the ghost-ships of emotions long dead
Sail those briny depths, wandering forever, crossing waters
That have been crossed a thousand times before
By a thousand broken hearts, yet each one is alone.
All of them go in the same direction, for the only way is up,
Because with every true tear that falls, the wave rises,
Until it gains the strength to push its way through
And to break on the shores
Of Heaven’s ocean.
And enter Paradise.
