Eyes of Possibility – Michael Morse
by Michael Morse, contributing writer
Eyes of Possibility
I look toward the horizon and imagine sharks and poisonous jellyfish, shipwrecks and skeletons, sea monsters, chemical waste, electric eels, slave ships, oil tankers and darkness.
“Isn’t it beautiful, Papa?” says Kinsley. “There’s pretty fish, and underwater sand castles, big waves and little waves, mermaids and seahorses out there!”
I look toward the horizon and see things a little differently, and I gaze at my granddaughter as she holds my hand.
“Why you crying, Papa?”
“I’m not, just a little salt water in my eyes.”
And we dive in.
