Ocean Flows

The ocean flows by timeless;
Without any end, without any beginning.
Always watching, always waiting.
Ever changing - moods passing swiftly,
Calm and then raging,
Both flirting across the space of a minute.

Mirroring ages, people and time;
A lifetime of a person, whether high or low,
Make no dent in that wide space of nothingness’ with the deep wisdom of forever.
Laws, acts, years and eras;
Come and then go, without record.

Our loves and losses are not noticed when measured against the vastness of its depths.
Unconquerable, unfathomable it flows;
A teardrops length from hell and a raindrops width from heaven.
How little our desires; how worthless our dreams.
We are gone in but a second;
The oceans flow on regardless.
