Ocean Strategy
by Kirk S. Pineda

Full.

Like a daydreamer, I’m full of ideas

with a world of room to move

Free.

At no time could I ever be bound

by any rule, law, or dogma

Forever.

I will be here from my beginning to end

outlasting some, somehow outlasted by others

Constant.

I know that in me, my waters will never dry

inspiration to artwork is like how the ocean meets the sky

Depth.

I am the result of my foregone ancestors

so deeply does the roots of my history sink

Flowing.

And as I move, my waves will crest, shaping my life

into solid hills and valleys, a foundation worth fighting for.
