The Open Ocean

 

No billboards, no power poles,

no high-rise buildings,

no traffic congestion,

no street lights.



Only the broad horizon,

the wide open ocean

revealing the curvature of the earth

where the sea meets the sky.



I've come here

to refresh my spirit,

to watch waves

wash the sandy shore.



To listen to the power

of the Atlantic.

To imagine the ocean open

from here to Africa.
