Ocean Eyes

SHARP WITH a FACE

It was deep
It was sharp
Sharp for many days
Sharp enough to cut through time
Time was doing a telling
Time was showing her signs
Signs for all to see
Signs and wonders
Wonders never ends
Wonders would always wander
Wander with pleasure
Wander through an open field
Field of ‘thorned’ roses
Field filled with broken men
Men of substance
Men fighting to just live
Live beyond existing
Live up to expectation
Expectation of the masses
Expectation to fan waves
Waves high enough to surf
Waves from the ocean
Ocean of sharks
Ocean of blue blood
Blood and gold
Blood from a stone
Stone carved with fire
Stone carrying a law
Law made to guide
Law set to try
Try a man’s limit
Try one’s luck
Luck of the devil
Luck don’t make life
Life is a deep sea
Life is a rowing race
Race against time
Race towards an end
End of the race
End of the line
Line of life
Line of sight
Sight the Pope
Sight the unseen
Unseen future
Unseen face
Face of tomorrow
Face of hope
Hope
Tomorrow
