“If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”― Martin Luther King Jr.


There it swayed,
In the glistening moonlight,
Rocking back and forth, back and forth.
The way the waves playfully lapped all across the mystical landscape,
It was as if they had been wishing to trance you…
The shimmering patterns each wave produced,
None quite like the other, had began to pound against each other;
Each a deafening roar, transforming into huge beasts one could never imagine,
Diabolical when heaving with anger,
Crushing magnificent rocks into minuscule pebbles, which skimmed the vast waves.
The unrest in the outraged sea, would frighten even the bravest of watchers.
But suddenly, as if by magic,
The tempestuousness ocean died down into the soothing, idyllic, picturesque scene it once was;
And you could once more hear the ocean forging its own sea-song,
The waves oozing onto the cream coloured sand of the beach,
Enticing the children into the majestic paradise it is known for.

My philosophy: it&rsquo;s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

This is amazing!! One of the best poems I've ever read!
