My Ocean
A perfect sparkling ocean,
glistening blue in the summer sun.
Slow, sweeping waves resonating ripples;
perfect.
Serene.
Creatures big and small,
not like you see in books,
documentaries;
Unicorns.
Dragons, Dinosaurs;
proud and purple.
Living in this perfect sparkling ocean.
Muddied water, harassed by a weary
winter sun.
Harsh, crashing waves emanating
LOUD, unintelligible sound.
Imperfect.
Trying.
Barren and empty;
no life can reside in this harsh, unforgiving place;
This imperfect, dreary ocean.
Am I lost within this place,
this palace only I see.
Have I lost sight of the surface,
of what others perceive?
I find myself swimming?
Falling?
deeper.
Drowning within this place;
this creation of mine.
Myself.
