Description
said the stars to the oceanit is ok.
to feel the pressure under the surface
suffocating your insides
to break yourself on the rocks
losing pools of your self every time
to be littered with the wrecks
of those long forgotten
to throw yourself on shore after shore after shore
only to retreat again and again and again
said the stars to the ocean
it is ok.
we will meet you at the horizon
where the earth kisses the sky
said the stars to the ocean
it is ok.
and although we may not always be with you
you carry our reflection safe in your heart

Oh my god, this is incredibly beautiful and leaves me with the same kind of feeling I feel when I watch the waves crash on the shorelines amist the night, but leaves with a feeling of sunrise.Β
I...don't believe I'm making sense. It gives a somber, beautiful, yet hopeful feeling. You did amazing with this.

This is beautiful and hit me hard, right in my heart. Congratulations on a very well deserved DD.

I hope it only hit in a good way, but thank you for your kindness

First of all: Congratulations on the DD! It is well-deserved.
Second: A question, possibly a silly one: Keeping with the theme of reflection, is this meant to be read from bottom to top? Because I think it works just as well that way, even better than forwards at some points.
In any case, a great work of art!

Thank you very much for your kind words!
It's not a silly question at all! It certainly wasn't something I intended to do but you're right about how well it works. I wish I had been clever enough to think of that, and thank you again for offering me a different perspective on it

to throw yourself on shore after shore after shore
only to retreat again and again and again
this is incredible, beautiful and tragic and forgiving. Just. Amazing.Β

& the sea will always be below the stars
to catch them as they fallΒ
and her salt will cleanse their woundsΒ
(though it will sting, because it always stings)Β
& the sea will always cradle the lost onesΒ
until they're strong enough to return to the nebulaeΒ
and even though she will miss them
she awaits at the horizon, to see them again.Β
