Dancing Along the Edge

Some people look at the sea and see only depth, survival, drowning, despair.

Some people see expansion, change, a journey, a place to cast dreams, possibility.

I dance along the edge
where ocean meets dry land,
where reality meets possibility,
and where unlimited possibility
becomes reality.

And when it builds rather than destroys,
unifies rather than alienates,
inspires rather than denigrates,

This is the ultimate Creation.

So, so true. And beautifully put.

These are guidelines for life choices, T. If we choose to build, unify, and inspire, our lives have meaning.

What a beautiful sentiment. I love the ocean for its endless possibilities and mesmerizing motion. The next time I'm lucky enough to be near the sea, I'll remember your poem.
