The ocean

Beneath the moon’s soft silver glow,

The ocean whispers, calm and slow.

A symphony of waves in flight,

Sings lullabies to the quiet night.

Each ripple carries tales untold,

Of ancient ships and treasures bold.

Secrets buried deep in sand,

Guarded by time’s unyielding hand.

The salty breeze, a gentle guide,

Brings whispers from the ocean’s tide.

Of love and loss, of hope renewed,

In every wave, a shifting mood.

The sea, a mirror of the skies,

Holds endless depths beneath its guise.

A world unknown, yet close, it seems,

Where life and mystery entwine in dreams.

Oh, ocean vast, your voice so clear,

A timeless call, both far and near.

You whisper truths both wild and free,

A poet’s muse, eternity.Your whispers cradle hearts in woe,

A solace where the weary go.

To seek the calm within your song,

To feel they’ve found where they belong.

Your tides, they kiss the shore with grace,

A lover’s touch, a warm embrace.

Yet in your depths, the tempests roar,

A duality none can ignore.

You hold the power to heal or break,

To soothe the soul or make it quake.

In every crest, in every fall,

You echo life—the rise, the call.

Oh, endless blue, both fierce and kind,

You mirror truths within the mind.

A vast expanse, so deep, untamed,

Forever shifting, yet unclaimed.

And so, beneath the starlit dome,

The ocean whispers, calling home.

A place of wonder, wild and free,

Eternal keeper of mystery.In your embrace, the world feels small,

Yet boundless dreams within you call.

For sailors, poets, wanderers too,

Have all been lost and found in you.

You cradle stars upon your waves,

Reflecting light from hidden caves.

Beneath your depths, where shadows play,

A kingdom thrives, far from the day.

Your song is both a friend and foe,

A hymn of peace, a tempest’s woe.

You hold the power to calm a soul,

Yet claim it whole when tempests roll.

And still, we’re drawn to your embrace,

To dance with you, to find our place.

For in your whispers, bold and clear,

We face our dreams, confront our fear.

Oh, mighty ocean, vast and wide,

Eternal muse, our constant guide.

In every wave, a story flows,

A timeless song the world still knows.

So sing your whispers, soft and low,

Beneath the moon’s enchanting glow.

For hearts will always long to see,

The endless magic of the sea.Your whispers reach beyond the shore,

To hearts that seek, to souls that soar.

You carry dreams, both old and new,

In every ripple, you’re reborn too.

Through storm and calm, through night and day,

Your song remains, it will not stray.

You speak in silence, loud and clear,

A language felt, not always near.

And when the world grows still, and vast,

Your endless tides will ever last.

For in your depths, we find our way,

Guided by the ebb and sway.

Oh, ocean deep, with eyes so wide,

You teach us how to love and glide.

To trust the flow, to let it be,

To find our strength upon your sea.

In every whisper, every wave,

You carry hope, you teach the brave.

And in your depths, we find the key,

To live, to dream, to simply be.

So let your whispers call us near,

We’ll sail your tides, without fear.

For in your embrace, we will remain,

Bound to your song, again, again.Your whispers guide us through the night,

A beacon soft, a steady light.

Through darkest hours, when hope seems thin,

You remind us where we’ve been.

In every crash, in every swell,

You tell the stories we can’t tell.

Of dreams that falter, yet arise,

Of truth that hides behind disguise.

With every wave, we learn to bend,

To rise again, to make amends.

For though you pull, you also give,

A chance to heal, a chance to live.

Oh, ocean wide, we hear you speak,

In every whisper, strong and meek.

Your lessons echo deep inside,

A call to trust, to stop, to glide.

Through every storm, you stay the same,

A constant force, a burning flame.

And as we journey far and wide,

We carry your whispers deep inside.

So let us sail, and let us roam,

With whispers of the sea our home.

For in your song, we find the way,

To live with grace, to seize the day.

Oh, ocean vast, your heart, so true,

We’ll always listen, following you.

Your whispers guide us through the tide,

With love and courage as our guide.
