Morphology
The phrase combines literal meanings — 'motion' (movement) and 'ocean' (a vast body, often used metaphorically for deep feeling) — to create a poetic metaphor for inner stirring; the relation is partly inferable but relies on recognizing 'ocean' as a figurative domain for emotions. A B1 learner who knows the constituent words could plausibly guess it refers to emotional stirring, but the exact nuance and poetic usage are not fully predictable without familiarity, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Motion of my ocean is a poetic image: imagine a deep ocean inside you and someone causes motion, making waves and currents. That's why it means 'a deep emotional response' or 'the stirring of feelings'.
