The Giving Ocean
The Giving Ocean
by Victoria Shupe
It washes up shells
To give
Then it swallows
Them backup.
It gives the unwanted
And takes the treasured.
Travels far,
Ends nowhere.
Makes itself small,
Dead ocean,
Flat as glass.
You hear nothing.
Yet rises to the
Greatest,
Step in shallow
Swallows you deep.
But after all it holds,
The giving ocean is
For you.
To explore
Its abundant mysteries and
prized possessions.
