Though I lie by the Ocean and hear the waves crashing, the music of its song is unknown to me. Though I see the Ocean and love it by its nature, its relation to my heart is unclear. Though these waves wash upon my shore, lap at my feet and fill my ears; I am both deaf and blind to the words by which they call upon my soul.

Though the Ocean lies near to me, I myself stand apart - afar in mind. Though the Ocean enfolds me, sweet in lullaby, the cords held within play silent. Though the Ocean resonates with the same song, the same strength and the same knowledge as that of my heart; I hear nought, I feel nought.

Allow these ears to hear, this mind to see, this heart to feel. Set me free.

Tear down these walls, self-made, that bind my soul with barbs and wires; blinding my mind, heart and spirit to the deepest desires.
