The swell and ebb of roaring waves
The high tide and the crest of the surf
The deep swirling blue and clear turquoise
The wide expanse made of many small drops
The constant movement with no goal
The ocean's grandeur and chaos
Is like our emotions.
The soft whisper of a summer breeze
The loud roar of an impending storm
The violent whipping of loose limbs
The swirling of fallen leaves in a small twister
The gathering of clouds in a huge hurricane
The wind's grace and unpredictability
Is like our emotions.
The slow growth over a thousand years
The constant carving of rock face
The crevices and niches hidden from view
The towering presence in a rolling landscape
The chill tops and the elemental core
The mountains' splendour and loneliness
Is like our emotions.
The roof of vivid leafy green
The floor of twisted scarred roots
The intertwining of many branches
The voices of all the creaking trunks and bark
The space occupied by one in the same
The forest's strength and complexity
Is like our emotions.
