Oceans

There's something beautiful
About the constancy of the sea

So unlike the warmth of your kisses
And the ephemeral pressure of your lips

But the waves dance perpetually
In their unwavering attempt to get closer to the moon

Whereas you create havoc on spells
Always as temperamental as raging a thunderstorm

There's faith in the ocean's struggle
To remain in varying shades of blue

Yet you disguise yourself as a dashing sunset
So that admist all the orange and yellows and reds
No one can ever tell your true color, nature or shade

But the ocean is as vast as your eyes can see
And even beyond the perpetual line of the distant horizon

Still you conceal your volatile reality
In things you think to be infinite

Such as the resiliency of the water cycle
And the invisibility of the air

But just like the sea currents carry foam
And just like the clear water shelters salt

I find you in the multiple shapes that form the clouds
I find you in the autumn leaves that surf the wind

And then you can no longer hide your finite and perfect beauty
From my ephemeral ocean eyes
