Heart Sounds

Heart Sounds

Restless are the ocean waves,
that battle for the land.
Their struggles are so timeless
against the grains of sand.

Swells rising and retreating,
climbing every shore;
hold a conch shell to your ear,
and hear the ocean roar.

Life is like the waves at sea,
gentle in its motion.
A symphony of heartbeats,
lessons in devotion.

Now and then a storm is born;
twenty five foot waves.
Testing us in the journey,
life sometimes misbehaves.

With a rhythm so hypnotic
and soothing in its guise;
footprints fall into the sea,
and fade before your eyes.

Still you hear the waves at night,
crashing, one by one.
Their pounding is so steady;
a skirmish never done.

Looking back your tracks are gone,
sand has filled them in.
Ocean waves will hide the fact;
that you have ever been.
