Analysis of Sound of the Sea
The Sound of the Sea can be heard
Amidst the breeze and a chirping bird
Telling the story of eternal love
As peaceful as a flying dove
It passes and speaks to every heart
And wishes to grant life a fresh start
But most hear a hissing sound
And all the visionary words are drowned
It crashes on the shores to gain attention
Maybe it acts on a plan for redemption
Letters it asks the birds to carry
So in the darkest hour no man shall tarry
It knows no language but has a voice
Listening or hearing is your choice
If you give a chance it can explain
That the essence of life isn't inane
Like us it is born but never dies
Like us it has phases but it never cries
Like us it is salty but yet loves life
Like us it has rage but doesn't use a knife
We are same and still different
Maybe all we lack is contentment
As a parent it knows our interest
It helps us stand and puts us first
Still we run short of time
To close our eyes and feel the ryme
The magical flow of wisdom still exist
For the gentle hearts that can't resist
It won't be fair if I translate it's words
Besides it's an impossible task for all nerds
Cryptic and simple such is the letter
From the creator to make us better
If all let the love sink deep down
We'll realise there was no reason to frown
After all we are a part of its soul
We just need to close the dark hole
As you sit quietly on the sand
You might be able to understand
The sound of the sea can't only be herd
It can be seen, felt and observed
