#freedom and fatality

The sea ahead of me,
as wide and as deep as my eyes could ever see.
And, right behind me,
lies the city’s biggest cemetery.

Look at me! Says the sea.
I am blue and just as full-of-life as you.
I’m sorry, says I. But I do not want you.
And all I wish is that, one day, I shall cross you.

Turn around! I hear from behind.
You disregard me. Yet, I will never disregard you.
There’s the sea. You can run, you can go through.
As for me, one day, I shall cross you.
