You laugh at them. You point your finger and call them a fool. Their silence amuses you, their gentleness becomes your joke, and the crowd joins your laughter as if kindness were weakness. It feels enjoyable today, sweet on your tongue like careless victory. Their patience becomes your stage, their humility your entertainment. But time is a quiet witness. It watches without speaking, It writes its lessons slowly in the turning pages of life. A day will come When laughter turns into tears. The echoes of your mockery will return to your own ears like thunder across an empty sky. Situations will arise without warning, storms without hands to beat you Yet heavy enough to break your pride. Pain will arrive quietly, And you will feel the trembling of a heart that once laughed too loudly. And that fool, that funny person you once mocked, may stand in the distance, not laughing, but witnessing your tears, your shaking voice, Your falling ego.

The ocean opens its endless arms,
Blue as freedom, wide as breath.
It keeps no borders in its tides,
No flags upon its depth.
Waves greet footsteps from every land,
Soft or wild, they do not choose.
Rich or poor, known or unknown,
All are welcome to its blues.
Beaches listen without judgment,
To laughter, sorrow, love, and pain.
Footprints vanish in gentle foam,
Leaving no mark, no name.
The sun pours gold on every face,
No questions asked, no fee.
Salted winds speak one language only:
Come, rest beside the sea.
Children build their fleeting worlds,
Adults forget their weight.
The ocean carries all our worries,
And never learns to hate.
It shelters dreams from distant shores,
Unites what land divides.
A mirror where humanity stands equal
In the rhythm of the tides.
If the world could learn from water,
From how the waves agree—
There would be no walls, no strangers,
Just souls meeting peacefully.
For the ocean asks for nothing,
Yet gives endlessly, and free.
A home made of horizon and hope—
Where everyone is meant to be. π
