Think of me as the Ocean

When I am gone,

think of me as the ocean

watch me swim through the tides

hurdle with the waves

caressing, as the water strokes by

waves soaring as they capture me in

into the depths unknown

I lie there undisturbed 

As I find myself piercing in nirvana

someplace where there's

neither suffering nor the sense of self

unsure if I could ever return

But if you ever think of me

Think of me as the Ocean
