The Sea by Rick McVicar

The sea eroded the mountain. 

The mountain submerged into the sea,

 Littering the ocean bottom

 With rocks to shelter clinging starfish. 

The jagged rocks felt sharp, 

Keeping predators at bay. 

Those rocks protruded to protect me

 When I was washed by the sea. 

Down deep I dove far below the algae, 

Leaving lush greenery behind,

As my mind took a dive 

Beneath the twinkling of light.

Yet I came up out of the waters 

Gasping for a breath

Of fresh air to renew 

My resolve to create something new.
