# The Ocean Poem by astaldo ELVEN

I sat on the rock
And looked longingly at the vast ocean
My eyes full of tears
Of sorrow that was undiscerned

The ocean noticed it though
It sensed my hurt and searing pain
Tears it could not hold
Were wildly splashed hard against the rocks

The ocean shares our feelings
It hears our shouts and painful cries
Waves are being used as response and
When the ocean is sad, it even sighs.

I really appreciate its presence
For it is always there for us
To let out our pent-up feelings
And there our sorrows pass.
