WALKING ACROSS THE ATLANTIC

        I wait for the holiday crowd to clear the beach

        before stepping onto the first wave.

        Soon I am walking across the Atlantic

        thinking about Spain,

        checking for whales, waterspouts.

        I feel the water holding up my shifting weight.

        Tonight I will sleep on its rocking surface.

        But for now I try to imagine what

        this must look like to the fish below,

        the bottoms of my feet appearing, disappearing.

After reading the first stanza where do we seem to be going?

I think its a getaway sort of trip, "I wait for the holiday crowd to clear the beach

           before stepping onto the first wave." We don't know where we are going but I picture the                                                        beautiful sea. Oh! Shot, I forgot my camera.

                                                           

                                                           Where will we go next?

Not sure "thinking about Spain"  but for now we are still walking across the Atlantic. I am tired for its      a long journey, Spain sounds exciting though. I am looking forward to seeing the royal palace of                                   Madrid, the soccer matches and the religion how interesting!

                                    After reading the title where do you think we are going? 

  I imagine a place in Europe surrounded with water. "Tonight I will sleep on its rocking surface." I                       feel like a baby being rocked to sleep safely. I hope the sharks don't eat me!

                                    Whom do we meet on our way or who goes with us?

The fish! The speaker seems to be having fun walking on water. (How cool is that?) Although he tries        to understand how,"this must look like to the fish below, the bottoms of my feet appearing,                                              disappearing." I hope I am not disturbing them yikes! 

                                                          What sights do we see?

         We can longer see the beach, land or people. We can see water and "checking for whales,        waterspouts." I feel alone for I have isolated myself which is scary considering I am walking alone.
