My mind is blue
Like the ocean waters
Roiling, like the waves rising
And crashing in succession
Surging forwards and then
Receding backwards,
An ambivalent dance
Of joy and sorrow
Hope and despair
Laughter and tears;
A tempestuous storm
Raging and merciless
Fierce and unrelenting;
A force of destruction
That threatens to submerge
Within its depth
My fragile, weather beaten soul.

A masterfully composed piece! I love how the mind’s likened to the oceanic waves. That’s a pretty chaotic situation, kinda like one having mood swings! All of the lines and verses are so well thought-out, they make a whole world of sense, relate-able too as is with all of your pieces. That second to the last illustration depicting an oceanic wave in all of its glorious beauty’s breathtaking! A surfer’s haven for sure! Kudos Doc, you’ve got this in the bag! Whoop! whoop!! Lolz.
