I think you are the ocean

I think you are the ocean
the depths sound the saddest song
a vein of emptiness splits the foundations in me
where the sun touches the peaks and sides of your every wave
a life rises up, dolphins in your wake
a murmuring choir of cormorants and such
darts thick as a single thread,
thin as breath across the entire seabed
your slow-moving eyes pass over a sunken kingdom
presiding Poseidon, you are the ocean
