Notes About The Poem

- Blue Ocean -

So unbelievably alive

                                    A man puts out his fishing net

                              Without even a slight breeze or breath

                              while he waits  … on the wriggling fish

                               Fluctuations in the sound of seagulls

                                    A universe for the silent man

                                     listening, longing and living

                              Exquisitely flight in all the right places

                                          how could they knows

                                   no harm from the sharp edges

                                   They will hunt again tomorrow

                                          In a sky blue horizon 

                              and a crystal clear hymn from the ocean
 
                                All develop over time, with humility

                            Like the waves consume along the coast
