H₂O: A LETTER TO THE OCEAN
No Plagiarism!PyW7WWWGaO77QLVmP8nBposted on PＥNAＮＡ

Cascade does look beautiful,

But where does it go?

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvM9hs1clx

Does it vanish in the fold of foam,

Or drown in the dark it knows?

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcQsxkDfiZ

What hides in that translucent realm —

Transparent, but do you ever truly show?

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusiLJCSiKB

Ripples, tides, and currents form,

As the moonlight pours.

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4phCZbmKx

How are you so vital,

A necessity of life?

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcngAOET2XJ

What lies in the mist?

Who knows what you hide?

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCKduFfqXc

The way you soothe — ache fades away,

Only to burn as ice, then slip away.

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBJOfFAGAT

Shifting forms from one to two,

But you stay the same, lurking through.

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bbyj4syJW

Your depths are haunting,

Shallowness a thrive.

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBUJ0Ghm9V

Consider you a cradle,

Or void undefined.

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4yE05QR85

With each wave that hugs the shore,

You give something… or take some more.

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9z2V0VmQk

Is that the shore where silence began,

Or was it you who drowned the land?

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSfYTFUIzo

From where do you arise —

Harbinger to Obscurity, like a hymn long gone?

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRwHURs34a

Whenever I talk to you,

I ask you:

What are you — W.A.T.E.R.?

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJOvjkTzXZ

And you just stay stagnant,

As if saying:

Watch As Tears Expand Rear.

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i5IGi8too

So maybe you're not meant to answer,

But still I return —

Yearning for the answers

That you hold

In the unknown.

492Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRWZEx1OyU
