Oceans



Illumination
is the wisdom of the
sky which tells truthful lies
pried from its vengeful grasp
With jealous seas of hateful indulgence
Unbeknownst of the infinite ocean

About this poem

In my mind, the ocean is jealous of Space because it wants to be infinite like it, so the ocean steals the lights(stars)and reflects them on its surface.
