Writings of J.A.M.

As I Stare out into the Sea,

I can feel the soft oceans breeze

the warmth from the sun

the grass dances with the whistling wind

the ocean is filled with thoughts

and mysteries,

I feel the cool water
the ocean is alive filled with lost souls

washing emotions up onto the shore

My feet sink in the softness of the sand

The ocean is made up of dreams

and achievements,

My mind lies in the heart of the ocean

The rocks are bones

Out in the open the waves settle

and wait for their attack,

I feel as one with the ocean

as the ocean feels like one

with the world.

This poem really expresses my love for nature. It connects the bridge between humanity and nature, how in some ways we are just like everything else on this planet. While reading it I am able to visualize an open ended horizon, free of civilization, smog, saturation, just a plain simple blue ocean. Vast, calm, fighting to reach for something on shore, pulling in shells, a distant memory of some far off place. Spitting out new shells, new memories, for adventurers to pick up and hear, to experience all walks of life, even though it may seem far away. I do feel as one with the ocean, as it does with the world. In a way, by connecting with the ocean, I am connecting with the world, an emotion one can not explain, but only feel. I dream of one day living by the ocean, to wake up morning, after morning, the window slightly cracked, just enough to let the vibrant sound evoke colors in the air around. An all-encompassing feeling to start the day refreshed, anew. This is the life I want, this is what I strive for.
