If the earth were an ocean,
An expansive wave crashing
Against each atmosphere,
You are a shark and
I am a single drop of blood.
Breaking the surface just
Enough for you to sense me,
And for me to drive you mad.
Swimming, rushing, looking
Side to side in hopes of being
Able to reach me. To find the
Source of all that I am; more.
This aqueous equation we
Strive to solve, trying to make
Sense of our soggy surroundings.
Within seconds, I dissipate into
Oblivion. There will be no
Trace of me when you fold the
Corners of the Pacific, and the
Atlantic edges, still, will be too wide.
Tis foolish for a creature so great to
Chase after something so small.
Dwelling in the unknown, you have a
Freedom, irrevocable.
Coast where you please, but
Do not chase what is no longer there.
I pray you, forget my scent, and
Relinquish this witless quest.
From afar, I will bask in your might,
Never daring to reveal myself.
I am too delicate for your devour
