pacifica

When I was a young girl, my family crossed the Pacific on a Navy ship. This is how I remember it.

 

                                     i recall being

                                     in the middle of the blue

                                     Pacific Ocean  ---

                                     all that endless blue  ---   above

                                     the amethyst sky   ---   below

                                     the deep brooding blue

                                     of the water   ---   the wind howled

                                     and the clouds skittered

                                     across the vastness   ---   gazing

                                     through all that suffocating

                                     blue, i wondered, with

                                     the wonder of a child   ---   where

                                     is the world?  did i

                                     dream it?       or am i dreaming

                                     this?              is this immensity

                                     reality? or

                                     is it what i cannot see?

                                     i think i learned then

                                     i can only be certain

                                     of the reality i can dream
