Thoughts of a Sea Star
 
By Emily Roos
St. Ignatius Prep, San Francisco
12th grade

Life’s hard,
Clinging to a rocky expanse.
immerse
surface
Naught but monotony.
The constant water is ever changing.
submerge
expose
A quick glimpse of the calm sky,
Clouds float lazily by.
dunk
reappear
Plunging into the frothy ocean,
Water churns around the rocks
deluge
arise
When will it ever stop?
What will happen if it does?
sploosh
high tide
