Grappling with Infinity

Seascape Sunset, Pacific Coast Highway, Northern California, United States of America
When I want to grapple with infinity
I go to the ocean
And imagine an endless sea
Of unfathomable depth
Beneath a boundless sky

The illusion lasts
Until the sun touches the horizon
And fails to erupt
In a ball of steam

Perhaps the most familiar circle of them all: the sun. A response to this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge, which isCircle.
