Haha. That was quick, Bob, or was it one you already had?

I like swimming in the sea . . . well, I used to . . . I'm not so sure now!

Thanks, Jayne. No, it's brand new, written in the minutes before posting. I love swimming in the ocean, though I usually find it too cold.

TO SEE THE SEA

You ask me how to see the sea?
Go the shore, and there it will be,

a floor beneath the dome of sky,
the Earth's reproach to all that's dry,

as huge as things on Earth can get,
and every millimeter wet,

then take a seat upon the sand
and banish every thought of land

and let the ocean fill your view
till nothing but the sea is true.

To See the Sea: For the Navy Recruiters

'A VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD' sells fantasy.
If you look from the quarter-deck below
You'll see the utmost human misery.
What filth! What crowds! Your ships move much too slow.

TO SEE THE SEA

I was born in a land-locked country,
far from a glimpse of the sea.
From reading I knew that the ocean was blue
and as big as a big thing could be,

and I knew it was home to great creatures,
like starfish and dolphins and whales,
and poets adored it, and heros explored it
propelled by the wind in their sails,

and I dreamed that someday I would see it,
I'd stand on the shore and behold,
but the years went by fast, and my chances all passed,
and my dream, like my bones, is too old.
