The Ocean Blue
I am sinking again.
I floated to the top
only to discover a blank sea;
Well, mostly blank anyways.
I saw birds, but they flew away.
I saw boats filled with love and laughter,
but they also made no course in my direction.
I stare at the blue sky as I wonder,
of all the stories told to my younger mind
about all the happiness and love;
that I would be burdened with
once I grew to be a young man.
As I sink back into that dark ocean blue,
that I know all too well,
I only wish that I knew:
that those burdens
were the true meaning of life itself.
