It is like the Great Sea
so much unexplored
sunlight, twilight, midnight, abyss
trenches unspoken
can we fathom the fathoms?
all this
yet you can feel it at your feet
as it kisses at the shore
brushing over softly
then pulling with force
ground beneath losing score
step further toward the breakers
whether you surf or tumble sore
rise to face the Deep again
ever hungry for the roar
ever hungry for More
“There's nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you've been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.”
― Dave Barry
