In my world, there is a boundless ocean so bountiful It was tinted crimson like fresh blood flowing Some places are calm, while some are raging As I sail with my rusty sailboat and my fractured paddle By what I saw, I was utterly bewildered Bleeding people with smiling faces Crying people in broken pieces Now I know why the water was florid Why do people do these deeds? Ain’t it painful enough when they bleed? Why do they continue loving, as if it’s their creed? A crazy world, is full of crazy people indeed I sailed near a shipwreck and found a desolate man He was staring into space, maybe the horizon in his sight What was ever beautiful as it is ending, the setting sun I asked him his experiences and this he told with all his might There is always a possibility of failing to reap what you sow But we still love, for we might be the victor, who knows Then why do we love? Isn’t it for happily ever after? When that happiness fades, do we then surrender? No, no! Never lose hold! Just hold on tight! A couple in a luxurious yatch chimed in The storm will pass as you endure the rain You’ll see, if you both survive, a future brighter than sunlight But then a free spirited surfer interjected with glee Why must we endure if all we feel is pain? Like what he said, in the end we may not reap the grain If they can free each other, why prolong their agony You are and will not be wrong to start it and continue to hold But, I say, your resolve may be weak, to see it to the end Or time had caused its toll, and behold! This is what happens when your will eventually bend Still, don’t worry dear sir, your boat is maybe broken But I know and experienced, time will do the fixin’ And you’ll sail once more after you stand up when you’re down Unless you decide to end it all here and drown Time does it magic without end To further bond, eventually erode or slowly mend Love and time in a sense is eternal and relative Farewell now wanderers, we still have a life to live

“Sailing the Red Ocean”
In my world, there is a boundless ocean so bountiful It was tinted crimson like fresh blood flowing Some places are calm, while some are raging As I sail with my rusty sailboat and my fractured paddle By what I saw, I was utterly bewildered Bleeding people with smiling faces Crying people in broken pieces Now I know why the water was florid Why do people do these deeds? Ain’t it painful enough when they bleed? Why do they continue loving, as if it’s their creed? A crazy world, is full of crazy people indeed I sailed near a shipwreck and found a desolate man He was staring into space, maybe the horizon in his sight What was ever beautiful as it is ending, the setting sun I asked him his experiences and this he told with all his might There is always a possibility of failing to reap what you sow But we still love, for we might be the victor, who knows Then why do we love? Isn’t it for happily ever after? When that happiness fades, do we then surrender? No, no! Never lose hold! Just hold on tight! A couple in a luxurious yatch chimed in The storm will pass as you endure the rain You’ll see, if you both survive, a future brighter than sunlight But then a free spirited surfer interjected with glee Why must we endure if all we feel is pain? Like what he said, in the end we may not reap the grain If they can free each other, why prolong their agony You are and will not be wrong to start it and continue to hold But, I say, your resolve may be weak, to see it to the end Or time had caused its toll, and behold!
