The soul and the ocean

The ocean is deep and so is the soul.

The seas are one and the soul is whole.

The ocean is large and the color of blue.

Love is larger in ‘me’ and in ‘you.’

The ocean is mighty and cannot be tamed.

And the soul is even mightier from whence we all came.

The soul and the ocean are indeed ‘very large.’

Yet the ocean is just a small twinkle in the ‘soul’ in that regard.

For the great ocean of this world and all the stars in the galaxies,

Are contained in the simply soul of you and contained in me.

The oceans may be deep, but the soul is deeper.
