  She wakes in Awe,
  The ocean frees her to love.
  Her heart is now free.

  Feel the ocean tide,
  As it sweeps, and lays to rest,
  Your body, and mine.
  
  A lovely write, Syl.
  
  AND OMFG TWENTY ONE PILOTS

    Oh I must be cool as I took my son to watch them live a couple of weeks ago.
    
    You made my day calling me kinda cool, I’m not sure I’ve ever been called that. I live on the fringe. The. I thought maybe it’s because you think I’m too old for 21 pilots, then I thought maybe I am old?!
    
    I liked your senryu response by the way. Quite a mighty warmth and let it be in your ocean! 😊

  Short but saying all it ought - the sea has so much to answer for Sylvia.

    It has all the answers I hear, it just speaks in strange sounds.
    
    Thanks for reading Fay 😊

  Avoid the Ocean
  it's a sea of motion
  lurking to claim you.
  
  Powerful and thought provoking. The Sea has enormous powers, one of which is intoxication. It can lure people to destruction. A great write. - Phil - A.

    Yes I am always reminded of the scene in the awakening by Kate Chopin when the protagonist gives herself to the ocean in the end.

  The ocean will do as the ocean does. It cares not for your consciousness nor your heartbeat.
  
  Your three lines have such power that they bring a vision of unlearned cruelty the naive will learn much to their cost should they trust in an ocean for judgement.
  
  Reality strikes.

    Thanks 😊
    
    I always love to see what people make of three lines.
    
    I trust the ocean more than the humans though!
    
    There’s an ocean in my chest!
