I found this a while back, a poem I wrote when I was just 18. I'm surprised at how it still rings true for me.
OCEAN PIECE
Think of this song
this song in you
what is it?
What is this music
you are,
think of this song in you
standing at the
mouth
mouth of the ocean at dark
into the darkness
this song
the ocean makes
this song
it passes you,
through you
it is not your own
you are a part of it
