Wave

From an empty sea, a welcoming fin

accesses abyss, invites us in.

From an empty ocean a visiting fin

waves a greeting, not a meeting,

beckons us deeper, wider, braver (outsiders)

scaring us with the maelstrom’s spin!

We are also water, moving wave-like,

throbbing, sobbing, a-wash within!
