ocean waves

The ocean was the only home the mermaid knew, and as such were you to ask her to describe it, she would not have mentioned the water or the wetness, the waves nor the water currents, much in the same way that you would not mention the air, if you described your home.

the ocean air saturated
of salt drizzles







She was so accustomed to the multitude of fish in their vast array of colors and sizes that she barely noticed them anymore. To her the ocean was no more than the bland wallpaper of her life and she longed to grow some legs and explore the world of humans on the land.

dear memories
a breeze of spring gush
swayed eelgrass

Humanity is made up of people like the ocean is made up of drops. As the ocean pounds on the shore line, humanity pounds on fragile eco-systems. Like the ocean at the mercy of the wind we seem swept away by the demands of our times, cars, devices, disposable goods.
