I've only read and
and written about
You see,
I've never seen an ocean
in my life, in person.
I've just seen ponds and lakes
or fountains and waterfalls
even drafted in a river once.
And I thought I know water
- what it looks and feels like in
stream, stagnation and cascades
both inside my body and
outside in the real world.
And as I write another poem
about the deep vast ocean
I wonder if it'd ever be complete
without me having witnessed one.
