The Oceans Blind Date

What are you doing here and where do you think you’re going?

To see you.. to see me.. to see something.

Well, I’ve never seen anyone like you.

Me neither, you look different.

It’s not me, it’s you.

Why splashing all at once?!

Why are you so cold to me?

It’s just who I am.. and why are you so annoyingly warm?

It’s the sun and the currents I live by.

I don’t know why I wanted to see you.

Of course not.. you’re dark and murky and you destroy all my charm.

It’s because you brought all your stuff with you, those floating things..

I had no choice, you pushed me away with your waves..

To push back your freezing gusts of wind!

Anyway you’re too deep for me..

And your shallow water, no chance.

Pfff these extremely salty waters.. uncontainable!

And these artificially pure, fresh ones. Get real!

So why did you come?

I don’t know, you looked nice from far away.. I was confused and curious I guess.

And I came because I thought maybe I am looking for someone that’s not like me.. Maybe it could complete what I’m missing.

What are you missing?

I am not sure.. but maybe some of the things that identify you.

So why didn’t you say?

You’re too aggressive and you’re taking me over.

I had to defend myself.

Ok, now that I am telling you, I am here for you.. would you still attack me?

Of course not, why should I..

But I need to know I could still be me.

Promise. Here is the line.

I don’t need a line, I need to trust you, then I could feel free.

It’s all yours, bring your tsunami toys if you wish.

You know, I never thought we can overcome this.

Because only together it is possible. Against each other it obviously won’t work.

This is so simple..

Imagine an ocean that could merge and blend and have so many refreshing traits that would be so inviting for the marine life as well as for the birds and mammals.

Yeah, right, It would be a free and lable-less kind of playground that would just be there to hold the space. For us too.

It would be stormy and calm, it would be frozen and warm, it would exist all over the world..

Such a good idea!

Let’s make love then and start giving birth to one.

I think we already did.

How do you know?

Because I just realized we have the same name.

What do you mean?

I mean we are already one, inseperable being.

How do you know?

Because we are already all over the place.

So, what was that all about?

It was the planet, causing us trouble and imbalance so we could restore back again the harmony.

What a nightmare.

What a dream.

All the friction..

Was that really worth it?

I guess it was, looking back at that war zone.. Blended beautifully.

2 oceans, 0 understanding.

1 world, blind dating.

I pour my heart involuntarily into words, since I found that writing is the ultimate solution for a nightmarish sailing journey. I can still connect with you :)
