The Ocean Speaks

The ocean whispers its secrets if we only listen.

The ocean speaks
if only you listen.
It whispers its secrets
or roars its pain.

The tides rise.
The tides recede.
A natural rhythm
since the beginning of time.
They have no choice.

Like the tides
ruled by the pull of the moon,
we too
rise in the good times
fall with our struggles.
Do we have a choice?

Ask the ocean.

As we embrace the tides
of our lives,
we grow stronger
like waves sculpting
the rocky shoreline.

Stop for a moment.
Hear the ocean's words
echo through time.
