Poetry by the sea. Whether its as light as the foam on the shore or as dark as the depths of the sea, the ocean brings new thoughts with every tide.

JELLYFISH

Trying to catch a shooting star

Is like trying to touch a jellyfish

You will surely be left with a scar

All because of an unattainable wish

Eluding you in the heavens and in the deep

Leaving only a trail of fading light

Not even a fleck of stardust left to keep

This is an unattainable wish, forever out of sight

So sleep with the fishes

Or dance in the sky

But know that your hopes are mere wishes

Humans are only able to watch the stars shoot by
