ocean awareness

Living at the edge of the ocean

With the beach at our doorstep

Watching the breaking waves fall over 

Advancing as lines of foam


As the tide ebbs and flows

Day after day in the rain or sunshine 

Eventually the novelty wears off

Into a certain repeating sameness 


The sound of the surf becomes just noise

The swirling water no longer fascinates 

The usual shorebirds pick their way past

Without attracting anyone's attention


But the awareness is always present 

Being beside this vast expanse of water

Feeling the perpetual motion and immense mass

Even with the blinds closed as we sleep


The distance to the horizon always out there

Where everything vanishes into a point

Impossible for us to see beyond

Left to imagine what lies on the other side
