Sea

The constant underwater storm.

Kelp waves back and forth like thrashing trees.

Sand swept up, settles, then lifts again.

There is somehow peace in this power.

These currents are strong, swift and invisible.

Stay shallow to avoid the undertow.

We lay on our backs

ceding control,

submerged.

Salt water prime us, and Sea —

teach us to accept

the eternal ebb and flow.
