Strength through adversity

Just like the ocean from a distance, it gives the impression of calm. It can capsize and leave you shipwrecked as it can uplift and enthral.

We know there is turbulence, there are storms,

There is truth, there are lies,

It is chaotic as it is serene,

Yet we continue to believe and hope.

For this is life.

It is arid as it is plentiful.

It can defeat with one swell and you leave you subdued.

Yes, it is life, my lover, my torment and my joy.
