prospectus or panoply
what you expect or fear
what you offer or exhalt
an array of blessings
flowing seaward

to an ocean of opportunity
daunting in its tidal fury
or seductively inviting
hiding sharks and sharp coral
they came unsuspecting, leaped

an offering to neptune or
a siren's capture
a morsel for a moment
forgotten in the endless cycle
they ceased to be them
