do you see the ocean?
do you see the contradictions?
peaceful but ferocious
hiding but revealing
old but new
do you see the tranquility
of the water beyond?
yet as it comes in,
the angry waves
crash against the shore
do you see how objects
are buried beneath the depths,
like ships and airplanes,
lost in the sands of time?
yet as the waves reach the shore,
they uncover items hidden,
like seashells and driftwood
do you see the water and
the waves that have been
flowing, and churning, and crashing
for thousands, millions, billions of years?
yet as they arrive at the shore,
they smooth and wash away marks
and disturbances, leaving the shore
a blank canvas
do you see the ocean?
do you see the contradictions?
