Endless and vast
Feelings swell
Her fervor unsurpassed
In freedom she excels
Bursting at the seams
Under her surface; singing shells
At times she gleams
Let it loose
Living dreams
Never recluse
Fluid, free
Never subduced
Although filled with debris;
Beautiful
Calm and vibrant sea
I was inspired by another intern’s wonderful words about the ocean. In this poem I compare emotions to the ocean and hope that people can be more like the ocean; filled with life and still beautiful no matter what is done to it. Containing your emotions may restrict how happy and free you can be in life.
