Sestina


My life is one big ocean.
So much color.
So much unknown.
My comfort zone is the sand.
Anything further is the rest of my life.
The ocean is my world.

Out there is an extraordinary world.
A brilliant and glittering ocean.
A mysterious life.
An ocean with an array of emotions and color.
Don’t wait in the sand.
Voyage into the unknown.

Both good and bad reside in the unknown.
There’s good and bad in the world.
Don’t be the man on the sand.
Don’t miss out on the adventures in the ocean.
Enjoy the fear and the color.
Enjoy your life.

Make the most of your life.
Cherish the beauty in the unknown.
Paint your life with color.
All the colors in the world.
There’s more than blue to the ocean.
There’s no blue on the sand.

The ocean creeps up onto the sand.
Asking you to start your life.
Don’t disobey the ocean.
Don’t be afraid of the unknown.
Make your mark in the world.
Accept your color.

Every emotion has its color.
Neutral is the sand.
An artist’s palette is the world.
Paint the picture of your life.
Leave room for the unknown.
Leave room for your ocean.

Give color to your life.
Leave the sand behind and swim through the unknown.
The world is your ocean.

  1. Ah. Excellent. So this is a seaside version of "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." There's lots of inspiration here to seize the day: "Don't be the man on the sand." It's like Nike's Just Do It! campaign. :)
