The Ocean
Always feel caged that can't escape from
Until you are in the ocean of open water
Waves are the way to the feet to walk on
The sky is so far away you cannot see the end
Freedom grows wings
The land is gone - with it the hustle and bustle of concrete jungles and sweats of the long days
The ocean gave birth to the first life
Returning to the ocean seems to have found my original self
The sun gently exploded in the face
The Creator looked so close to me
I could hear the wind as He walked by and saw the traces of His presence
Only patches of blue, white and golden
Such a simple yet borderless world is so innocent
At this moment I forgot the body I was in yesterday
Before going back to it tomorrow
Today I am another species of life
No need to be a human, not a fish, not a seabird either
But I have wings, eyes and a singing heart
Can travel through the water
Can catch the white clouds in the sky
and enjoy time with Venus
