The Sea

Follow me, into the Sea.
Its salt and foam invite us.
The waves rise up to great newcomers,
inviting all, young and old, to play.
The warm water absorbs the light like a sponge;
it reflects the suns rays like a mirror.
Follow me, into the Sea.
Though it holds great strength,
it only means to gain a friend.
So many ships and so many explorers,
have traversed it's murky depths.
Feel free to inquire about it's stories,
it's hidden mysteries, so numerous.
Don't hesitate, just dive right in!
The Sea will accept anyone and everyone,
all who seek new life.
Though it all looks so similar on the surface,
underneath is like a separate universe,
filled with the souls of thousands.

Let us meet the multitude,
and their home, the Sea.
With its constant fluctuations,
and unfathomable, everlasting wonders.



Inspired by Mary Oliver's "The Sunflowers"
