Sea Water
Ogden, UT
2021, Junior, Poetry & Spoken Word
A drop of water, a drop of blue water, you are as pure as a pearl.
You, a drop of sea water, a drop of ordinary sea water, has a small world in you. How many
things of life, dissolved in your blood, so you are salty, you are bitter. But in spite of this,
how many immortal lives live in your salty and bitter world. They are fed by you.
A drop of water, if I throw you back into the sea, I can’t see you. You are gone. You become
the sea. You surge, you surge, so that we can hear how much you have in your heart to pour
out.
But who among us dares to say that the sea is only a salty and bitter world?
It is also a roaring world, a raging world, a world of struggle. The waves raise countless
lives, leave countless hopes of the spray, they stand up, they run forward, never look back.
And then we meet the little drop of water in these waves.
The drop of water runs among them, shouting. I hear it all.
Reflection
Reflection
I have always been in awe of the sea. I think the sea is mysterious and powerful. We should appreciate the inspiration brought by the sea, because the sea is the epitome of this world. No matter how things change, the sea will always be there. The sea tells us all about the world. I love the sea, I love her vastness, I love her tolerance. Life doesn't always go smoothly. Whenever I hit a low point of my life, I always think of the sea. The power of the sea gives me peace, and the forgiveness of the sea gives me hope. If there is a sea in your heart, there is a light in your life.
