Singing in the Ocean - Prose Poetry

"Singing in the Ocean"

Between the crystal wind and the vibrant waves,
surfs my consciousness.

These waves,
these thoughts,
are caused by life's tides.

Individual thought interactions among the amber waves of time.

Life's crimson experiences create the earthquakes,
the wild volcanic activity,
the chaotic atmospheric disturbances
which play to the surface waves of my mind.
My conscious thought playing field.

The longer my wonderful blue life,
the more distance I travel
(be it mental or physical),
the harder the winds of time blow
creating sizable waves for my consciousness to ride.
All the while I gather data,
sifting,
sifting,
concluding?

As the cool wind blows over the water of my mind,
dragging the surface of my thoughts with it,
my consciousness rises.
The waves become my thoughts...
Gravity pulls my thoughts in a new direction,
back,
back,
with the momentum of experience
below the surface of these new thoughts
creating the massive waves upon which insight develops.

Exhilaratingly I sing during the tug of war,
created between the gravity of experience and the pressures of life,
I dance within the nuances of life,
Laughing,
while riding a tsunamis at five hundred klicks per hour
with new thoughts breaking the Richter scale.
I think therefore I am...
Singing in the ocean!
