The Ocean
The unknown deep waters of the ocean, the view from afar, the mystery of what lies below of what we can see.
The initial fear of being the one to submerge into the abyss,
the chills that spread through my spine thinking of what lies beneath
the battle within me, jump in, or back away, which one will win?
As my eyes discover what truly lie beneath the coat of dark blue,
rays of light breaking the darkness, like flashlights throw glass
allowing me to see the horizon,
beautiful creatures and life greeting me making me feel safe.
Floating through the waters, I then realize
the symmetry of life above and below the line
The discovery that the unknown once is known is not as frightful
as I thought.
The unknown deep waters of the ocean, the view from afar, the knowledge of what lies below of what we can see…
