An Oceans Denotation

As I

Stare into the ocean adrift, my mind gets set a drift ,

And this mental shift causes me to think

Contemplating how to link the ocean in correlation with the idiosyncrasies of this life of mine

Though benign and sublime, the ocean possesses a regality and mystique that

Seems to mystify me while demystifying all of the harsh realities that are left once paradise has its shift in paradigm

Whereas my normal life is in a hurry I can set my eyes on the ocean with no worries as the sands of the hourglass remain in still life to my instilled life realizing that this is still….life

Observing the waves and its inference to life’s parabolic instances that gives you a harsh reminder that what comes up, must come down

What obstacles you will face eventually will turn itself around…because life has its way of working itself out

Remaining weary that all waves vary in magnitude

Its longitude intertwining with your latitude will continue to steer life’s compass that encompasses the very essence of your attitude and your ability to stay afloat

It also allows you to ponder that as each wave hits, whether you need a life jacket, flippers or a boat, or if you just wish to drift ashore into an island of mental dexterity whose coordinates are remote

And as the ocean of life continues to wash fragments of yesteryear ashore

Some remain with you through each wave, while others descend on to dry barren land, leaving its legacy to the vile abiotic ecosystem of your life,

Like seashells being found along a coast

Some, maybe most, although small have secreted enough mental carbonate

That what is left is just the utter façade of their former self

Symbolizing how the relationship itself came about

Beginning a journey untrusted and over time slowly chipping away at is shell until it finally came off as they enter the ocean of your life

And while some have grown and have continued its rise through lifes figurative food chain some have forgotten you while not being forgotten

Leaving its shell as a constant reminder of their legacy and that

Any and all interactions are learning and enriching experiences, whose lessons will forever remain even as the tide comes in.
