the open sea

to see something so wide
and empty.
without a soul, or ship
in sight.
to see the enormous
stretch of sea.
a blue
green sheen of water
breaking
white upon the sand.
to see
such a thing awakens
you
to other things
that
consume your life,
putting them in order,
somehow.
giving you, if just
for a moment
clarity, light.
