The Ocean's Waves

The waves of the ocean come tumbling,
neither grumbling, nor mumbling, but roaring.
Yet, the ocean's roar is more soothing,
than the soft voice of a friend consoling.

Some prefer the warmth of sun-kissed sands,
some the shade of palm tree fronds,
yet some prefer the cloak of darkness,
and some the facade of happiness.

These quiet companions may bring some peace,
yet the ocean's roar puts me at ease.
Compassion and sympathy it cannot pretend,
no matter what you do, it remains your friend.

Your silence it understands,
much more than words.
Relieved of its burden,
your soul can join the birds.

With the receding waves,
retreat your turbulent thoughts.
I hope the ocean brings smiles,
to many more distressed hearts.
