Ocean

I see the ocean deeply breathes
And, mesmerized, I follow it,
I’m feeling water’s spin.
The surf is grumbling like a beast
Spreading its noise, and salty mist
Settles on my skin.

Waves and the sky are all around
And thousands pounds of the sand
Beneath my feet.
I’ve left my home and I am free.
Lights of the city faded for me.
All paints are so vivid.

One step from the miracle of life,
I see wind cuts waves like a knife
And runs them down.
I’m in the centre of the Earth,
In all its countless deaths and births,
My soul drowns.

The ocean makes my soul clean.
It’s breathing out, it’s breathing in
Taking my troubles away.
I’m standing here, I’m lost in time.
Looking for music, rhythms and rhymes,
I found them in the waves.

I’ll take with me the ocean deep,
And my heart will eternally keep
The miracle I’ve seen.
But now, I’m following the waves
The only way from thousands ways:
Just breathing out and breathing in.
