Ocean Poems About Loss

Grief, loss, and the resulting confusion is like drowning in a vortex of swirling gray sea. These ocean poems about loss reflect the tumultuous and unrelenting force that seems to be both a physical manifestation of grief and a reflection of the emptiness it leaves. It pulls you into its depths. Forever drowning, it feels like there is no rescue from it.
