All I Sea

All I can see is sea
A memory of who I used to be
Clashing, smashing against my boat
Keeping me afloat

All I can see is sea
Calm and collected like I appear to be
Ripples spreading far and wide
So just a mini version of the tides

All I can see is sea
A stable entity, like a tree
Always there to comfort the world 
Even while we all get twirled
From place to place 
And time to time
The ocean stays there like a favorite nursery rhyme

All I can see is sea
Teaching me to be more carefree
Life is too short to be caught in the waves
Because then you get pushed into the caves
The ones offshore where you can’t see any light
And there is no hope in sight

All I can see is sea
Calling in distress and glee
Changing, and adapting so quickly 
Laughing out a silent plea

All I can see is sea
A memory of who I used to be
Clashing, smashing against my boat
Keeping me afloat
Because even in times like these
I can always depend upon the seas

    I love this tittle. And the piece was so awesome and made me smile too and I felt like I was there

    Thank you! Sailing has always been a passion of mine and just being out on the water brings up so many different emotions :)
