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
