The Ocean

I´ve been at the cabbin this weekend watching the ocean all day.. wrote this poem before I went to bed.

Today you are still

but yesterday you roared

Rose over smooth stones

and slammed against shores

Glided against boats

A blue endless thread

Lingered around all of those

With water stroking their heads

Glided between hopefulness

and those with no hope left

Kept all the secrets

At the ocean's depth

Hollow echoes of wonder

In every single wave

Slithered between the fingers

of the scared and the brave

Sparkled green in the sun

Blue in the afternoon

Wild and black once the night begun

Because the light faded too soon

Fell over cold metal

That gathered the life you gave

Made spirals on the surface

With what life gave away

Moved along the fjord

Encouraged by the wind and thrill

Yes yesterday you roared

But today you are still
