Each step I take, an earthquake

To the water around me.

But to me… just a step.

From another thousand steps before.

For the boat atop me

Does not see my watery eyes.

The sun's rays do not show me

Only the light that only I can see.

As time comes,

He is crushed by all this water.

Into the ocean’s depression

Telling himself

Walking the ocean floor.
