so much internal emotion
may I touch the eternal ocean?

the Pacific near Seattle’s Space Needle
the Atlantic as I watch St. Aug’s people

Kowloon Bay in bustling Hong Kong
Stockholm’s Baltic where we wander along

And now Highwater on far Enceladus
What will future exoplanets have taught us?

Water means possible life
Could my grandson have an alien wife?

Yes, Bob - time itself a mysterious ocean
I pray courage and a sailor’s devotion

Cast off from the comforts of shore.
Discoveries before Nevermore!
