The Underlying Truth of Life
The heavy sunlight beams through
the varying blue-green waters
carrying the souls of the outcasted on their backs
Each minute rolling and rolling, more and more
Just for another to take its place in the long journey of life
Each wave with its own personality yet somehow
Always flowing through with the same end goal, the same desire
To finally crash, crash and be free, yet no understanding
They are going to be dragged back into the dark depths
from where they once were, and so desire to escape from
the deep, dreadful, vastly unknown
Yet it’s comforting, as it is the unknown that keeps them on their toes
Once back, they climb to the top, grasping, reaching,
hoping to achieve the goal of leaving this vastness of nothing
And every time tasting a piece of freedom
but unable to stop the motion that has kept them there forever
Waves are left only to wonder
Why they continuously try and break the shackles
That withstrain them for eternity
And although some try and leave this inevitable, repeating prison
None are able, and they trudge on waiting, moving
forced upon the way of the world with no escape, no life
