the ocean's song is beautiful thing. it's also very special. only those who truly love the ocean can hear its soft, soulful hum as waves crash against grainy sand and the cold hull of boats alike. even when the seagulls squawk and the turtles shuffle across the dunes and fish swim effortlessly and the sky thunders in loud claps and booms and bolts of white hot lightning streak across the sky like eagles, you can hear it.
the ocean sings to all her children. she sings to uplift, to protect, to save, to aid; she sings many songs for many occasions, but she will always sing with love in her heart. the ocean is a mother and she has many children and though they may stray from the path she has set out for them, she loves them and cares for them and helps them back onto the right path, the path of light, if they ever come back to her arms. she does not hold grudges, only love, in her heart, and with time, mistakes can become reminders that you have grown, that you have learned, that you have lived through the past and the future can only go up from there.
the ocean song, to others─outsiders─is hardly a song at all, but to the ocean's children, it is the most beautiful song they've ever heard. janna is one of them, and she cant get enough of the ocean's song. it thrills and excites her, inspires and motivates her, encourages her to do better each day, and reminds her to be kind and caring to everyone she meets. it holds her when she's down and feels a lot like a kicked puppy, it congratulates her on her accomplishments and celebrates her achievements with her, it reminds her when the world feels so very alone and dark that she isnt, that she is loved, that she is cared for, and there is always a light at the end of every long, dark tunnel she might find herself in.
the ocean song taught her love. it found her when she was young, abandoned and alone in the wild, and took her in and cared for her. it nurtured her, helped her grow, and helped her cheer up when she felt she wasnt enough. it helped her improve her skills, grow as a person, and when she was so frustrated with others or even herself that she wanted to scream, it comforted her and let her yell as much as she needed to.
the ocean song taught her patience, and virtue, and respect, and so many other things. it taught her what it felt like to be alive, to be happy. it taught her how to love others and in return, she will be loved. it taught her how to survive off both just the bare essentials and the comforts of a civilized society. it taught her many things, but most of all..
the ocean taught her how to have a heart.
