Waves

Never stop the ocean in your eyes,

Never suppress the warmth of tears that grace your eyes,

'Cause turned backs can't make waves subside,

The ocean of emotions in you must stream through the eyes.

The heart must be expressed,

The pain must be felt -

Else dark clouds will replace the waves,

Lightening will strike, hearts will break.

Let it flow, let it flow -

It's the song of the heart!

Waves must go up before they go back,

and get lost in the ocean again,

Cry your heart out, till the air starts to feel breathable again,

And peace and quiet replace the storm.

But the storm must be allowed

To burst with all its hurt and melancholy first,

Else in the moment of disaster's anticipation, would life pass,

and life's too short to be lived in denial.

The tears aren't monsters you can run away from,

But simply waves of the love, pain, and emotions,

That course through your veins.

Let yourself be immersed,

So that you can be rejuvenated,

With acceptance and wisdom.

'Cause there is quiet in the eye of the storm,

And that perspective you'll receive

By embracing the storm within you,

Will become what gets you through

And makes you grow, and stand tall again.
