H₂O: A LETTER TO THE OCEAN
No Plagiarism!CkcviDAL5ukV7IyG4oMGposted on PＥNAＮＡ

Cascade does look beautiful,

But where does it go?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfdNyEhtHb

Does it vanish in the fold of foam,

Or drown in the dark it knows?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqrwK3NF5G

What hides in that translucent realm —

Transparent, but do you ever truly show?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5eVzNWBW

Ripples, tides, and currents form,

As the moonlight pours.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJBVFGw1X5

How are you so vital,

A necessity of life?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeghpbFYl3Z

What lies in the mist?

Who knows what you hide?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkEUXZvBBr

The way you soothe — ache fades away,

Only to burn as ice, then slip away.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEFwJNEq2a

Shifting forms from one to two,

But you stay the same, lurking through.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccrwBVjRHB

Your depths are haunting,

Shallowness a thrive.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCciOTHh7w

Consider you a cradle,

Or void undefined.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vRtqnq1JG

With each wave that hugs the shore,

You give something… or take some more.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3fqxvtZLJ

Is that the shore where silence began,

Or was it you who drowned the land?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA7f0SLBsW

From where do you arise —

Harbinger to Obscurity, like a hymn long gone?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m1aFNW2lR

Whenever I talk to you,

I ask you:

What are you — W.A.T.E.R.?

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaMIFSQBjk

And you just stay stagnant,

As if saying:

Watch As Tears Expand Rear.

490Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5RxjMEkSs

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgret5ozi5W
