A life can sometimes seem deep and dark
Just as the oceans’ waves find their mark
From season to season, a person splashes along
Just as the oceans redeploy, intense and strong
Hardships and misfortunes grudgingly arrive each week
Just as the oceans’ depths mask secrets, waiting to seek
Morning’s sunrise embraces, cheerful and bold
Just as the oceans splash water, much too cold
Today brings a bit of uncertainty and sadness
Just as the oceans bring a light of happiness
One wonders and dreams of a better life
Just as the oceans dispense little strife
A walk along the sandy beach sounds great
Just as the oceans’ tides deliver a final fate
The gentle waves engage loneliness for a swim
Just as the oceans’ surf arrives without a whim
A final desperate, draining breath takes one under
Just as the oceans stand still and start to wonder

Ashok, thanks for reading and sharing a thought. This poem captured a darker side of my writing, but I enjoyed the experience of the contrast of the ocean with the human side of life.
