Sea's Symphony

The oceans and the seas engulf, three quarters of our globe, And yet it’s mostly unexplored, it’s stories never told. Creatures that we’ve never seen, and sounds we’ve never heard. And yet we’re reaching for the stars, I find that most absurd. For if we listened carefully to our first mistress, the sea, We’d find the very source of life, that evolved you and me. Then knowing where we started from, maybe we could explore, The reasons why we left our home, and crawled upon the shore. We think we’ve made a better world, with mobile phones and all. But even from three thousand miles a whale can hear a call. Our ‘inner space’ holds wonders that mankind has never found, And even when our mistress calls, we just shut out the sound. So while we all are reaching for the planets and the moon, There’s understanding lacking that we’ll find out all too soon. Until you understand yourself, you’ll crawl upon the floor, For knowing where you came from, is the key to a new door. The wonders in the ocean, that as yet we do not see, The longing felt within our heart, her call to you and me. The utter fascination of her everlasting lure, Are the things that draw us closer, to the water from the shore. Ivor G Davies
