OceanA Poem by JCerrThis is one of my drafts. Derived from my memories in the summer.Ocean Cold and blue Sending icy chills from your spine to your toes Swimming in the ocean Is swimming in a pool of isolation Hundreds of feet from the bottom Always impossible to touch no matter how fast you swim The ocean grabs you as you float on its rippling surface It pulls you with it In the direction of unknown Sinking your ears beneath the drowning current Time slows Your body blurs from your mind Your body slow but never completely still The ocean fills your ears with the whistle of the unknown You can think it’s scattered words Like a puzzle you can solve But no That’s the music of the ocean The music of the unknown Never meant to be solved Its the mysterious sounds in inner shells It’s the unknown sound of the fish singing It’s the question of the 95 percent that is still the “unknown” That’s the isolation of the ocean Grabbing your body and pulling it away Away from the maze of your life Away from the weight of your mind Pulling you in all different directions The direction of the ocean Is the direction of unknown Sending icy chills as a warning That your life is only temporary Until you step into the great blue
