#41: The Moon in the Sea

On this quiet sandstone shore

The stillest night I've known

A moon above

A moon below

They both call to me

I cannot touch the sky

The moon that flies above

It’s unreachable

But this moon below

Floating? Sinking?

I do not really know

It looks like I can get there

I’ll dive in to the sea

I’ll swim there

I’m there

But it’s not there

I’m there, I’m nowhere

We all have plans of where we want to go and what we want to do with our lives. But we must ask ourselves, is what I'm planning and hoping for rooted in reality? Am I swimming to a moon that does not exist? 

Its funny to think that reaching the moon in the sky is even possible. But we've been there. I'm sure millions have dreamed of going there, millions have studied how to get there, and eventually, we made it there. But the moon in the sea, we'll never get there, because it does not exist.

#21: Ocean's End Part Two

We set sail, never to return,

To the unknown, new lessons to learn.

We sailed for weeks, but reached no end,

Sailing on and on by the oceans wind.

As it turns out, my logic's unsound,

The earth isn't flat, in fact its round.

Newness became familiar, we ended up home,

We circled the earth, nowhere else to roam.

But up, O up is where we'll go

To a place that the wind does not blow

To new lands meant touching the sky,

To get to the next world, we must fly.

The air found in my balloon,

Will help us to reach the moon.

We will defy this thing called gravity,

Up and up, just you and me.
