Day 59

Topic: The Ocean
Topic given by Tove Tønnesen

Deep green
Blending with the emerald blue
Collisions of a deadly force on the surface
Hiding the secrets underneath
While the waves speak
The bottom of the ocean sleeps
Hibernating in pitch black
No sound
Stream of fresh water, so slow
It is not even recognized

Our guardian
The preserver of our history
On top of our bone structure
it lies there
kissing the very first steps we took
where everything we can see
begins
we can only see the end
the waves
the mountains
the trees

But we have to seek underneath the surface
to truly understand where we come from
and wisdom is built
the moment we understand that some things
can not be reached

  5. love this! I agree with sleepykitten :“Deep green

  6. I liked the line “kissing the first steps we took” and for me the whole poem suggested the relentless movement of the ocean like time never to return in exactly the same form again
