​I Am an Ocean

​I Am an Ocean
by Shelley Pineo-Jensen, Ph.D.
for Mike Jensen
 
Your smooth touch
Defines the edge,
That which separates me
From the rest of the universe
 
- - - - - - - - -

I am the sea
Wade in my shallows
Swim on the surface of my shore-waves
Dive into my deeper water
 
You are invited to
Come inside
My green and blue
Immersive experience
 
Move smoothly
Don’t stir up muck
That mars visibility
Don’t take or break anything
 
Marvel at the undulating coral
Skirt around dangerous creatures
Gliding above eternal golden-white sand
Dotted with shell.
 
You are welcome
To feel the whole thing
All that is in here
See through my eyes.
