Ocean of Tears

I gaze across the expanse of this ocean,

My heart cries, “This many tears I’ve shed”.

The waves roll in and out,

Like the emotions of my soul.

How can I overcome this pain?

Rocked by reality,

life without you

Will never be the same.

As the sun sets,

Darkness blankets the earth.

I see a twinkle in the sky.

From the distant horizon,

The moon rises.

The light for the night,

A light for ‘my’ night.

A cool breeze caresses

My tear streaked face.

I look up,

A thousand stars, like eyes

Look down upon me.

The light of the moon shines

Upon the ocean of my tears,

My soul reminds me,

God is near.
