the stars
an ocean above us
and we beneath

Just as the sea stretches to the horizon, the cosmic canopy expands into immeasurable distances. The stars, like silver points of light, reflect on the gentle waves of the night sea.
The depth of the universe, dark and mysterious, echoes the fathomless depths of the oceans, each filled with mysteries and unexplored worlds. Galaxies drift like distant archipelagos across the cosmic sea, while planets glide like luminous pearls along invisible currents.
Shooting stars flash across the sky like fleeting wave crests glinting in moonlight. The moon itself stands as a majestic lighthouse in the sky, casting its gentle light over both realms — the ethereal and the earthly.
Just as the ocean has its tides, the cosmos has its rhythms and cycles. Both sky and sea whisper ancient stories of creation and passing, of eternal motion and the unending change of all things.
In gazing upon these vast expanses, we feel both small and filled with awe, yet also connected to the grander whole. For in the merging of starlit skies and oceans lies the profound harmony of the universe, where everything finds its place.
