Oceans

By Gerard Traub

Oceans in every dewdrop

fire in every spark ignite

when only embers remain

of suns ablaze

we to behold the sight.

Stars in every atom’s dance

a tree in every seed down

when finding ourselves lost

between forest and sky

many a child and forgotten crown.

Worlds in every teardrop

a cry in every silent tide

when paths ascend

most narrow and steep

oceans to horizons wide.
