H₂O: A LETTER TO THE OCEAN
No Plagiarism!gaQDml2DOw6bRidfLjpYposted on PＥNAＮＡ

Cascade does look beautiful,

But where does it go?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC0v5J4tHz

Does it vanish in the fold of foam,

Or drown in the dark it knows?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa9z5BX1dU

What hides in that translucent realm —

Transparent, but do you ever truly show?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDJCXiQycv

Ripples, tides, and currents form,

As the moonlight pours.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpJGznhID8

How are you so vital,

A necessity of life?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4a4TvyxFN

What lies in the mist?

Who knows what you hide?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PuoScIXk3

The way you soothe — ache fades away,

Only to burn as ice, then slip away.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUHuTBSg4j

Shifting forms from one to two,

But you stay the same, lurking through.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOZDr4vpYs

Your depths are haunting,

Shallowness a thrive.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z6odUNwjU

Consider you a cradle,

Or void undefined.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpxg3zQpbP

With each wave that hugs the shore,

You give something… or take some more.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyLGv5et24

Is that the shore where silence began,

Or was it you who drowned the land?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv93cFYP3HQ

From where do you arise —

Harbinger to Obscurity, like a hymn long gone?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGHVYmKIWl

Whenever I talk to you,

I ask you:

What are you — W.A.T.E.R.?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLqmkxePkg

And you just stay stagnant,

As if saying:

Watch As Tears Expand Rear.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFXKBYYmyn

So maybe you're not meant to answer,

But still I return —

Yearning for the answers

That you hold

In the unknown.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUJQYwOSts
