The Ocean and a Lover

Sometimes it’s like the dawning of a golden age
That somehow just escaped you
But it was never expectation, or even taken for granted
How you managed disappointment
It comes up from time to time
The constant swelling in the mind
That can make you feel a failure
It’s the giant undertow, forever circling beneath
That tells the ocean from the river, the ocean from the river
With no flares to save or alarms that can be raised
The ocean is full of hope and mystery
While no one can tell what an outward tide reveals
Still unknown beauty will always hold such great appeal
Can you tell difference between the ocean and a lover?
Can you tell difference between the ocean and a lover?
Can you tell difference between the ocean and a lover?
Can you tell difference between the ocean and a lover?
