Being as an OceanA Poem by Nicholas Antonio YoungThis is about letting go, a theme I seem to have been focusing a lot onI can't stop the ocean The waves will always be in motion The moon upholds the tides of life Pushing and pulling, the currents of time The sun shines so brightly in our sky But it goes where it will, so none miss its light These are the things we can't control The things we need to let go
Everything in life will constantly grow And eventually life gets tired and old It will wither away and decay But be reborn when new life takes its place We think it's pointless, that nothing comes from death But when one thing dies, another takes its first breath So there's no shame to accept and move on We are like the waves of the ocean, the ripples in the pond So trust in the waves and let them carry you
There is such untapped power in all of us But over many things in life, we are powerless For power is not meant to force and break things into place But to learn, guide and show others grace I have found my home, I have found my light I have learned to love and not fight
Thank you dear ocean blue All because of you I can say I grew I have been shown And I know What it takes to let go © 2014 Nicholas Antonio YoungAuthor's Note
