In the end, I am an Ocean

I once found a song

Saying "You're a pond and I'm an ocean";

That made me think.

 

Humans are neither water

Nor space

Nor black nor blue

Nor the feeling you have when you're lying on your back on a Sunday morning watching the sky.

 

Humans are humans.

Humans are complex.

Humans make you feel things.

Sadness, love, terror, happiness, disgust.

 

But then I met you and everything was clear.

 

I was feeling everything, but you were feeling bored.

I was seeing a billion of colors combining before the dawn of night, but you were seeing the sky.

I was asking you about your darkest secrets and your brightest dreams, but you were asking me how my day was.

 

In the end, my love for you is still the same

But baby,

"You're a pond and I'm an Ocean."

 

Thank you.

Sigh... life has a way of happening. I always wonder how often it's another's heart falling and burning bright through the night sky that so many wish upon.

I do hope you get to see the Faerie danse... and continue to listen close as the world's music carries and encircles and melds to our souls. Behind our eyes the magyk lives.

Your words yet again show how two different walking, talking, thinking people can be so different and yet, be similar in their ultimate aim: different paths, same destination.. whatever the one might think. There is something to lie, looking at the sky, believing nothing's going on but indeed, it is.. observation plays tricks on the mind.. points at the obvious..perhaps. Or not.

We humans are complex, there's no doubt about it. Some of us perhaps more than others. I think the analogy of any relationship comes down to one being the nurturer, while the other is the flower...or, one a pond and the other an ocean. Typically, at least in my mind, one of the two is more dominant, stronger than the other, taking on more than the other.

Good to read someone from Sweden! Welcome to the WC!
