Calm Ocean Day

Today, the ocean is calm.
Despite its vastness,
despite its responsibilities,
despite the storms it has endured,
today, the ocean is calm.

Today, the ocean is resting
under a silky duvet over a
down comforter.
With sea creatures sleeping,
today, the ocean is resting.

“Shoosh, trickle, shoosh,”
I sigh a restful sigh, too,
as the boat passes through
this calm ocean day.
“Shoosh, trickle, shoosh.”

It is memorable when the wide, unpredictable, often irrational ocean is calm.
You will talk about that day again.
