the ocean does not exist .

how can you say
' the ocean does not exist ' ,
when you haven`t even
tried searching for it ;
tried to look for yourself
just how far ;
wide ;
and deep
it is ?

or maybe ,
you`ve restricted yourself
to ' safe ' places ;
dry , dusty deserts ;
no place for a dry , crusty , thirsty heart .

so ,
because you have never been fully immersed in it ,
it does not exist .
you`ve felt the rain that the clouds gather from it ,
but there`s only rain .

no ocean .
nothing that great and big
could possibly exist .
