Gazing

Gazing at the ocean makes me feel small, even a little envious of the vastness

Only listening to sounds is enough to make the sunset more mystical than I can imagine

Waves are coy, luckily, the feet can feel the playfulness of the ocean’s soul

How many worlds are contained in its unfathomable depths?

The colossal upheavals may be due to the clash between such hidden worlds  

Frothy struggles of salt water keep aways the most valiant seeker

Even the crushing pressures are some otherworldly forces to protect the treasures

That does not stop the solitary one from enjoying the sublime moments at dusk

Lucky, to have touched the reflection of an enormous world with human consciousness

Soon, darkness will be intense and the ocean calmer, for it is time to wonder
