I
All my life I've lived by the sea
& watched waves emerge
then return to the deep
& often it seems
azure waters
form our dreams
those same currents
guide us:
follow their streams
II
diatoms & plankton seem
indifferent to immensities
yet
we were born to fathom
currents moving through centuries
but of millenia beyond that
ask nothing
de-diatom your mind
& stretch
your notions of possibility
do this not only for personal joy
but for Gaia collectively
