Heart Sounds
Restless are the ocean waves,
that battle for the land.
Their struggles are so timeless
against the grains of sand.
Swells rising and retreating,
climbing every shore;
hold a conch shell to your ear,
and hear the ocean roar.
Life is like the waves at sea,
gentle in its motion.
A symphony of heartbeats,
lessons in devotion.
Now and then a storm is born;
twenty five foot waves.
Testing us in the journey,
life sometimes misbehaves.
With a rhythm so hypnotic
and soothing in its guise;
footprints fall into the sea,
and fade before your eyes.
Still you hear the waves at night,
crashing, one by one.
Their pounding is so steady;
a skirmish never done.
Looking back your tracks are gone,
sand has filled them in.
Ocean waves will hide the fact;
that you have ever been.
