And wide enough
To witness
The arc of the Earth
Near enough
And still enough
To experience
The arc of the ocean
An eddy of time
Reflected
In the eddies
Of the sea
Near enough
And still enough
To experience
The arc of the ocean
An eddy of time
Reflected
In the eddies
Of the sea
In the form
Of a bright yellow slicker
With matching wellies
Animated
By a girlish delight
In the roiling sea
For the dog
For the man
For the unseen eye
Guiding the lens
To capture
The perfect
Moment
Beyond horizons
Uncharted
Possibility
Gleams
Quiescent mind
Blood rhythms
Salt air rendered
Tide pungent
Ocean whispers
Sibilant
On the shoreline
Shhhh
Shhhhhh
Shhh
Shhhhhhhhh
Bright as the nearest star
Steady as the lighthouse beam
Vast as the ocean
Persistent as the waves
Breaking on the enduring rock
Sometimes a caress
A lullaby sussurus
Sometimes a storm
A tempest of ecstacy
