The petal of this rose
Softer than baby skin
As supple as
A wave of music
A particle of sunlight
Ah, I see a Mother Ocean splash
Dolphin’s fabulous fin emerging
Breathing in fresh air
Diving into the deep
Surfacing again and again
Feeding and breathing
Rollicking and recycling
The water holds us
From the horseshoe crab
To the tiniest living cell
The omnipresent ocean swims her
Beasts, plants, creatures
Flowing along in her currents
Some spend their lives
Savoring her shifting seas
Tinkering with the tides
In and out, back and forth
Gliding, swirling, spinning
Seeking the support of
Salty water all around
Up into the heavens
While some are swallowed
By an octopus
Death, rebirth
Reincarnated into that
Clever consumer's body
Living on and on forever
Passed down and through time
Creating wholeness and
Holiness
Just like this rose
