Analysis of Dear to My Heart
I get so lost viewing the endless sparkling ocean.
The sunlit waves so soft and carefree
laying subtly on the fair surface.
A bridge that leads a perfect tulip
The warm surface of a stone as I feel it across my cheek.
The beating heart of the ocean as I listen closely.
It’s strong current continues to bring me closer.
The playful sand as I caress it through my finger tips.
When the skies are grey and the rain falls cold and heavily, I think back to this place and it warms my soul.
When my world turns black and blinding, I think back to this place and the stars light up my darkness.
I hold a song, a sweet melody, to play in the wind that carries my soul. The wind blows softly a melody dear to my heart with a love that is infinite.
Though I am lost in its divinity, I follow my heart and it leads me back to the heart of this ocean. A place that I long for and love to no end.
