No one loves a turbulent sea
Inundations breaching the shore
Thrashing its arms on the rocks
Splashing sea spray and
Scaring the kissing birds.
Nor anyone wants it
To be calm and still
As the silence of the sea
Is more fearsome
Than its roar.
Everyone needs an illusion
A constant murmur reassuring
An elaborate lie to
Fragile men that
The mighty ocean is tame
And it crawls to your feet
Like a child.
My heart is just like the sea
On a bright day
It murmurs words of love
On other days
It rumbles and grumbles
The sufferings and fears
That cloud my mind
At times it remains
Calm as a monk
Its silence
Deep as the abyss.
Maybe the heart
Mirrors the sea
As the waves rise and fall
The heartbeats follow.
No one knows
The currentsn underneath the surface
Nor do they know
The tempests that topple the ships
Or the calmness that prevails
Beyond the horizon.
