The Ocean Poem by Lisabeth Walker

The Ocean

Rating: 4.0


Some days I feel like
I am the ocean.
A fierce, raging, stormy thing.
It is then that I feel powerful,
It is then that I feel strong.
It is then that I'm reminded of
All that I've done wrong.

Some days I feel like
I am the ocean.
A peaceful, calm, stoic thing.
It is then that I feel tame,
It is then that I've control.
It is then that I've no shame,
And finally, I'm whole.

Yet some days I feel like
Nothing at all.
A disappearing, broken thing.
It is then that I am silent,
It is then that I'm confused.
It is then that I am absent
Of my being - broken, bruised.
It is then that I am distant,
And think, again, of you.
