i can see the ocean, a poem

 

I used to see everything 

For more than it was 

Instead of ocean 

I saw the boundary lines

God had drawn

I saw Jesus 

Walking on the water 

I saw parallels 

Of faith in deep water 

My world was bursting 

With the unseen 

Yes. It was. 

Now my world is far more 

One dimensional 

Less spiritual parallels

Less underlying purposes 

Less stories and miracles

Sometimes I miss that other world 

But in this one 

I can see

The ocean
