Jenova's blog: "Ramblings"

I Thought..
I thought the sea was blue,
I thought its depths were endless
I thought there was nothing to compare,
To the billion stars reflected and shimmering
On its surface in the moonlight.
I figured there were mysteries there,
Things I'd never see.
I thought it held secrets
I would never know,
I wondered if I could ever feel
what it would be like to swim forever in it.
I wondered how very lost I could be
I wondered if I could feel the soul, the heart of it.
I wondered if totally being one with it
Would drown me, or save me.
I've thought about the truths
That might be found by plunging those depths.
But then I started to fear my own mortality
I started to question myself
I wondered if I would die trying...
I started to think it wasn't worth it
I started to think it would be safer
To stay on the shore..
To look on from afar and dream.
To dream, rather than do,
To imagine, rather than try...
To stay safe and dry
I may never experience the waves.
I may never dive and explore bravely
But I can watch and pretend that I did...
I thought the sea was blue,
I thought its depths were endless...
Then.... I looked into your eyes and I understood.
