boat in open ocean

A boat in open ocean
tossed by waves
and creating its own

they grow and spread
sometimes
and rock the other boats

they also shrink and melt
sometimes
into the ocean depths

some boats push harder
than others ever could
than others ever do

some waves are horrendous
absolutely terrifying
and they aim to capsize

some waves are massive
and seem terrifying
but they move me forward

you push me
you are terrifying
but
you do not aim to capsize

not all waves come
from other boats
some are created
by the moon

i wonder if the moon
has pushed you to me
or i to you
or are we pushing each other
together and apart
waving in the motion
that boundless blue
