The news announced the sinking ship;
water pushing its metal hull
off a gangplank of the straight
until it crumbled as crystal over rock
Planes spotted flotsam and jetsam
—pinched debris riding a caterpillar
of watery waves inching across the sea—
its waterlogged bite engorged
from strewn pages as leaves

The Book of Things
They say to me in their awakening,
"You and the world you live in are but a grain of sand upon the infinite shore of an infinite sea."
And in my dream I say to them,
"I am the infinite sea, and all the worlds are but grains of sand upon my shore."
Kahlil Gibran

He had dreamed a dream and awoke to the feel of it as real. He lay in stillness with the thought until he could remember every part and then he arose and wrote it down. He kept a book of dreams though these he never showed but only kept and read, and perhaps in the margin later...
"You and the world you live in are but a grain of sand upon the infinite shore of an infinite sea."
And in my dream I say to them,

I am the Sea
I will entice you, with my emotion
By using my simple, harmonic motion
The ebb of the waves going to and fro
Hypnotic to watch, for this I know
My glistening colours reflect from the sky
As your mind wanders, watching birds as they fly
My soothing sounds, relax your mind
As you forget about the daily grind
You watch as children swim within me
Their little bright faces all full of glee
On my surface, surfers and boats go past
Memories to cherish, of these times to last
But I am a beast of savage proportion
