The Ocean, Powerful beyond Belief,
Wave after crashing wave does strike the shore,
Unrelenting, showing us no relief,
Until the storm is done, no open door.

But when the storm is away, Peace descends upon
The raging sea, bringing with it serenity.
A lone seabird proceeds the loving Dawn,
Washing away wretched hostility.

And with this peace, Beauty beyond compare,
Gazing lovingly into mankind's eyes,
Bringing precious Life, These calm waters do bear,
A beautiful gift, Womb for us to lie.

These waters, both beautiful and wonderful.
Destruction brings peace, and Life, so Plentiful.

I don't know...the only time I've ever seen the ocean, I was really little, and this is probably more dream than reality.

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

Gerard Way: "Hey, girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid magazines with sticklike models. Eat healthy and exercise. That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough. You're good enough, you are too good. Love your family with all your heart and listen to it. You are gorgeous, whether you're a size 4 or 14. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, as long as you're a good person, as long as you respect others. I know it's been told hundreds of times before, but it's true. Hey, girls, you are beautiful."
