Ocean of Thoughts

You walk the shores
leaving footsteps in the sand
walking along
with no master plan

The ocean wipes clean
all the feelings between
and sets you free
within peace and serenity

As you walk along
and stroll across the sand
you listen to the waves
nature's music nature's band

You clear your mind,
let you're self go,
soar through the wind,
listening to you're heart,
deciding what's right
and let you're troubles fade

As you just stop to feel
Across the sky you glance
Wondering if your ready
To maybe take a chance
It has hurt before each time
You think about what is to gain
Fear slips into the walk
As you remember previous pain

The memories come like a flood
but you begin to wonder
can this time be different
can this time be real
should I take the leap of faith
take a risk, for either way
everything will change

For the heart is a vessel
that one has to be careful with
Though it will hold much
and is extremely strong
It is made special
It is made to be cherished
It wasn't made to be treated wrong

You wonder if to not say something
Is the same as not being true?
Not telling are you really being real?
But if they really care for you
And who you think they are
Yet you wonder once it is said
will they be distant like a star
