The Pacific



Image result for free image of Pacific Ocean

I’ve been told how cool I am
oh so mellow, even chill
It seems by all appearances
to be so
Let me be the first to say
I have my moments, when
internally I sequester a
Primal scream-you shall
have to take my word for it-
Terror is hard to share
You see, I believe
deep within my being
that if I let out one peep,
It will escalate to an unending,
ear bursting battle cry
So, I zip it with a sly smile
and nobody suspects the
trouble I’m in
and then, magically
not giving it voice,
it dissipates, my pulse
rate slows down and
I’m okay again
This happens a few times
a day, but nobody knows
except me
Everybody says: I appreciate
your calm
Together, we chuckle about
my unflappability and
mystically by others affirmation
I am the Pacific-
The Pacific, yeah, that’s me.
