Splendid Grace

She was a most splendid ship, Moved on the high seas with such elegant grace, A tribute to her makers, The human race.... Yet stark cold waters Embrace her now, Broken spine, Shattered bow... And little fishes Her first class guests now... Rusting iron hulk.. We wonder how.... The sea the enemy? The sea the Queen? Stronger than Whatever's been? We've much to learn... Humility first... Pride and arrogance, A human curse... I suppose it took the sea Well over a billion years To be what it seems A pool of eternal tears No small feature is this Upon this singular earth... How many more such wonders Did God birth? No more questions, No more doubt It's there before us It does almost shout... "All This, and More... I've left for you... This sea so deep... This sky so blue... So if you doubt My existence at all Be prepared to take The biggest fall!"
