I Am An Ocean
I am an ocean.
You can look at me and glimpse just the surface
but know that I am as deep and as vast as you are willing to go.
Look in a little further and you’ll see there is more to me.
But to experience me
to know me for all that I am
the darkness
the cool calmness
to share all my secrets
to hear all the stories I carry with me
you have to jump in.
Not dip your toe.
Not ‘test me out’.
You need to submerge yourself in my enormity
allow yourself to be carried by my strength.
Move with me
Bathe in me
Feel the life in me.
I am an ocean.
You can look at me and glimpse just the surface
but know that I am as wise and as powerful as you are willing to bear.
