Through the Open Air

When the sky is a sea,

And planes are ships

Chasing clouds that act

Like whales


Pushing through the open air


And sending its waves

Crashing to the dry

Life below its stretching tail,


Are there islands we can

Land on?

Are there pools that will swallow

Us into nothing but the light

Of the cheering sun?


It's a sea where we will

Never be,

Much like the ocean below,

Mostly unexplored.
