Anniversary

Look across unbounded waters: a meeting of oceans. Potent Atlantic, pearled Pacific and between, no-man's water. Brief respites of calm only highlight true character: a surging maelstrom of hurricane wind and lurking current and narrow shallow bounded strait, crowned by rogue waves that shriek with the memory of shipwrecks past. Look across unfathomed waters: a meeting of oceans. More than storm deep, the waters are rich below with red krill and whale song, penguin ballet and undiscovered nature. Free above, an albatross floats, filled with wanderlust, faithful in its return. Look across the silvered years: a meeting of oceans.
