seascape

under the sea
white pebbles are rocking
rumors are spreading
from one to another
that a boat left its shade
on their carpet
that people are diving
just to talk to the fish
and to admire the reef
the pebbles are rocking
they try to get closer
to the site of adventure
but nothing really moves far
if it is not for the sea
to initiate the current

meanwhile a wise octopus
hides in the sand
and under teh pebbles
what's all this friction
about, perhaps they just care
about eating

at the shore a child waits
for his dad gone diving
and shells keep him entertained
with their permanent rolling
perfect examples
of the understandable attraction
he has for the sea
