Oceans are Hard to Sea

I've never seen the ocean before

though I've always wanted to. 

I hear the waves are big and tall

and the water is crystal blue. 

There's foam and boats and birds

that glide inside the ocean's glee.

That's what over and over I've heard;

That's what they keep telling me. 

I'm cloistered in my tiny house

so I only have tiny bits of sight.

It's dangerous to open up

but for oceans I'll try with all my might!

The nights are black and dark.

The days are gray and dim.

If only these fish would get out of the way 

I'm sure I'd see the ocean then!

The sky is too wet and full things

through which I longingly try and peer.

But how am I to see the ocean

at the bottom of the sea down here?
