Erratic 4 - a Little Seaweed

Can you hear the echoes of the ocean - 
The screams of the cooking pipi shells,
The sadness of 52 hertz whale,
The craziness of the king tides,
The eternal love of the cute little crabs?

A little piece of seaweed wants to scream
And yell
And tell the world it is happy.

It wants to push
And pull the tides of life;
Let itself melt into a luscious green.

It wants to fight,
Fly and swim- detaching from the sandy soils,
Letting the ocean currents lead it to paradise.

It wants to dominate,
Feel how it must be like to be a precious pearl,
Living in its exclusive, own shell
And warm itself in the ultimate happiness that is slumber.
