Broader Ocean

Broader Ocean

Inches measure themselves when pitter patter hits my window

Rolling rain through the gutters and downstreaming away

Into the earth’s ocean where unforeseen life delves deeper

Floating and sinking, joining and decaying by soft sifting sand

I wonder how long this ocean can wave and tide by the moon

And how often the seashells mimic sounds hissing water motions

A journey that cannot be seen by eyes, melting into saltpools

Breaking into molecules and growing within our mess where a home

Has been outlaid for zillions of species and many unknown to us

Icebergs melting from the northern and southern poles adjacent

Gravity pulling atmosphere in asphyxiated oxygen mixing hydrogen

H20 is our lazy way of spelling that one, somehow a home for our

Beloved dolphins and whales blowing water from blowholes high

As water keeps moving, moving faster and further, we cannot

Hear her cry, just as the tsunami drifted elegantly and destructively

Towards Indonesian islands burying the sound earth beneath her

Being forced out by Hurricane Katrina into the New Orleans city

Rising higher and higher to accommodate all that we throw to her

Drenching the plains and engulfing the spaces in and between

Buildings, unstoppable I reach out to her with my silent mind

Meditating on the emotions that linger within me to speak calmly

Un-drowning my sorrows and forsaking her as the only part of the

World that would ever survive the death of our planet, long lasting

Ocean, may you forgive us for our unsentimental attitude and

Let us live on the land to watch the rivers carry you with our love

That is really interesting Danny...not sure what it means...does it mean I don't know as much as you?  That's okay if that is what it means, but I find your poetry very abstract and yet well defined...almost like everything is put in a file in very orderly slots...I guess I think on another level where everything is less defined, almost always interconnected, always interchangable, always flowing, always intergrated...etc.  My tribe is too mixed to even try and think about, my ancestry travelled from almost everywhere.

Don't know why you think I'm not optimistic...I don't have feelings of grandeur either...guess we are coming from a different wavelength...
