Whispers of the Ocean

In the quiet cradle of the evening tide,
A sailor stands with the sea as his guide.
The horizon stretches, a canvas of blue,
Where whispers of the ocean weave tales ever true.

The wind carries secrets from fathomless deep,
Soft murmurs of sailors who lost their way home,
Each wave a voice, a story to keep,
Of forgotten treasures and hearts turned to stone.

“Come closer,” it beckons, the tide rolls and swells,
As the moonlight glistens on the surface, it tells,
Of ships once majestic that sailed with great pride,
Now mere shadows of glory, in memory abide.

“Listen well, sailor, for I’ve much to impart,
Each ripple and foam has a tale to impart.
Once, a ship named The Star braved the storm’s roar,
With a crew full of dreamers, and love at its core.

They danced through the night with the stars as their light,
But fate turned her wheel, and they vanished from sight.
Their laughter still lingers on the edge of my breeze,
A reminder of joy that time cannot seize.”

The sailor leans closer, the ocean's breath warm,
He feels the pulse of the waves, a life in their form.
With every crash of the surf on the rocks,
He sees fleeting visions—fate’s twisted clocks.

“Remember the Rose?” the sea whispers low,
“A vessel of fortune, her sails kissed by glow.
She chased after legends, the gold of the dawn,
But greed led her captain, and the Rose was withdrawn.

Beneath the waves’ cradle, her treasures still gleam,
But envy and fury unravel the dream.
For the heart that seeks gold may find only grief,
As the ocean collects both the stories and thief.”

With each rise and fall, the sailor finds grace,
In the echoes of lives that the sea must embrace.
“Ah, love,” sighs the ocean, “how sweet and how cruel,
It dances on currents, yet drowns in its pool.

The sailor recalls a maiden so fair,
Her laughter like sunlight, her spirit laid bare.
They promised forever, ‘neath stars bright and bold,
Yet fate forged a tempest, their destinies cold.

She waited by the shore, with eyes filled with tears,
As the Tempest took him, dissolving her years.
But whispers remain, through the swell and the foam,
As she gazes at the horizon, forever he’ll roam.”

A soft lull envelops as day fades to night,
The sailor stands quiet, his heart feeling light.
In the ocean’s embrace, he finds solace and peace,
For the tales of the deep are a haunting release.

“Each wave is a story, a journey unbound,
Of adventurers lost and lovers still found.
The line between myth and the real gently bends,
In the whispers of the ocean, where every tale blends.”

With a heart full of wonder, he bids the sea well,
Knowing the ocean holds stories to tell.
So he sails on forever, with the moon as his guide,
Listening to whispers that dance with the tide.
