An Ocean Of Love

An ocean of love - warm, caressing, nourishing,
An ocean of devotion - adoring, patient, selfless,
An ocean of fear - swelling, overwhelming, uncontrollable,
An ocean of temptation - constant, alluring, devilish,
Oceans of hate - enormous, dangerous and destructive -
All these life phases are as complex, vast and challenging
As the ocean I see from my window.
Like the numbers on a chocolate wheel,
They spin round and round and back to the beginning -
The birth of a baby -
On an ocean of love.
