Under the Sea

I had a dream I lived under water
in a station on the sea floor
We studied sharks and sea creatures
hoping we could learn more

The station walked on four legs
like a squat robot made of stone
we traveled deep and traveler far
a few of us called it home

I remember the color of the canyon
an orange-brown of cracked dirt
Yellow-green Marine life with extra frills
like maybe we weren’t on earth

Nothing else happened in the dream
we just lumbered on some more
searching for what we couldn’t find
we were made to learn and explore
