A New Ocean

It started simply
with a few words being said
then a few others
and soon
the words became a river
and the river started
forging tributaries
and estuaries
and eventually
an ocean
began to form
and fill with all the words
Standing at the edge of
this new shore
you are there
You turn and look
Our gazes meet
We smile
and laugh
and marvel
at what has emerged
before us
An ocean filled
with all hopes
and possibilities
