I absolutely love this poem... I have always found the ocean to be a symbolic as well as a spiritual icon of the power love embodies. The oceans illustrate a large and unending spance that can separate us further than we can see... it will give to us treasures of the sea, and can take from us who we used to be... I know love as such like the gentle waves that carry steep longings - yet upon reaching weak sand, then is presented an uprising break that brings a wave crashing down on me.
