The world is an ocean.
Although
it has its beautiful beaches,
its island paradises
and breathtaking coral reefs,

This ocean is for the most part,
enveloped in an angry and furious storm.
Black skies,
Unimaginably tall, furious white waves,
rushing towards you,
fully intending for one to drown.

When you fall into the sea,
you find that it is infested
with large carnivorous sharks.
They seek to devour you limb by limb,
nourishing themselves with your flesh
and your blood.


Your love then,
is a boat,
strong and sturdy,
that never sinks, no matter how tall the waves,
and never wavers, no matter how ferocious the sharks
It is because of your love that I persevere.

Wonderful comparisons Jose!  This brought both terrifying and comforting images so vividly to mind ... enjoyed this!

Best wishes,

Great analogies...great visual depiction also.  You've got some game, man...keep it up.
