An Open Canvas

An ocean

An open canvas 

But then

An open casket

You wasn't taught beaty 

You didn't see love

An ocean of magic to take you away

An ocean of freedom you made

You should have seen the wonders

The ocean, the world 

Exploring the wonders 

Not jumping down 

Sinking deep 

Your heart crushed by the painful waves 

The waves symbolise feelings 

The ocean symbolises beauty 

You should have got to know

No one really knows when their time is done ...life isn't fair nor free. But we DO hope for more than we have and we reach outside of our selves to share heartbeats.

[John the Baptist]

A poem of regrets here. The speaker seems to be mourning things that didn't happen and why. This is not the time to grieve, though. Much can still be attained.

PS: Do a spell check on the second and last words in line five, verse one.

Thank you I will change it when I have a chance and this is written by me but in the view of a friend of mine that died it's their long for a world they never got the chance to see and me reminding myself that I have much yet to see a world of beauty yet unknown to me 😊
