I wonder if seahorses see horses

do horses see the sea

I can see seahorses in the sea

but can they see me

I saw dolphins in the bay

playing like children in the street

chasing and leaping with joy

but did they see me

I catch frogs in the swimming pool

they try to escape my net

why do they come back daily

perhaps just to see me

I gaze at majestic trees in the woods

arms spread wide

green leaves soaking up the sun

they smile back at me

I study the clouds

shaped by water and winds

sailing along like viking ships

their crews are staring down on me

I peer into the mirror

searching for my mind’s eye

wanting to find the image of a thought

but nobody looks back at me
