H₂O: A LETTER TO THE OCEAN
No Plagiarism!ZT8Hew5JIOeMemJvpLXBposted on PＥNAＮＡ

Cascade does look beautiful,

But where does it go?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdqBpz7Giu

Does it vanish in the fold of foam,

Or drown in the dark it knows?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkPXVO6abm

What hides in that translucent realm —

Transparent, but do you ever truly show?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNwlEoH2MS

Ripples, tides, and currents form,

As the moonlight pours.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEK4H5mToh

How are you so vital,

A necessity of life?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyZOJPEYV1

What lies in the mist?

Who knows what you hide?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPLLWVjX8Z

The way you soothe — ache fades away,

Only to burn as ice, then slip away.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFKML1E7QI

Shifting forms from one to two,

But you stay the same, lurking through.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeelf3yCvn

Your depths are haunting,

Shallowness a thrive.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg4kbSJKNd

Consider you a cradle,

Or void undefined.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4mxafFj6n

With each wave that hugs the shore,

You give something… or take some more.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjo2achkQv

Is that the shore where silence began,

Or was it you who drowned the land?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFRsrWuUVR

From where do you arise —

Harbinger to Obscurity, like a hymn long gone?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaXwOXMecD

Whenever I talk to you,

I ask you:

What are you — W.A.T.E.R.?

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmOoA3QkPu

And you just stay stagnant,

As if saying:

Watch As Tears Expand Rear.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8wW4N8mhF

So maybe you're not meant to answer,

But still I return —

Yearning for the answers

That you hold

In the unknown.

339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJsX2PSasl
