There is never nothing
when the sea is still and quiet,
for everything’s out there.
Whether it’s a sailboat
skirting across the waves
or the colors of the sun coming,
or the sun going
with its peaceful ‘good mornings’
and ‘good nights,’
one could watch for hours
and see lifetimes pass
or simply see a wave break
just so.
There is never nothing
when the sea is still and quiet.
