The Appeal of the Sea

“THE APPEAL of the SEA” © The troubled torrents upon the beach pour Constantly claiming the sands of the shore Vexed for good reason with purpose assured Pounding and thrashing some threats are here stored Restless in action and heady with need Racing so often much creatures to feed Dashing & splashing inciting some fear Meanwhile inviting to those with more dare Roaming all over companion the sky Giving all color no matter how high Crashing & churning with consummate ease All as if playing or perhaps in tease Shifting & prancing is just to get back Sustaining the life with all it may lack All finding succor in shallow & deep Determined by nature each one to so keep Ebbing and flowing is one & the same Feeding all nations in His Holy name Moving forever as if in a dance Honoring nature not merely by chance Shimmering often pervasive in sleep Still holding your stare while yet dancing deep Embracing rivers regardless of state Where else could they go before it’s too late They too conspire to dump more than silt Aided by humans who bear the most guilt Were it to be steady as lying in bay Then all would be lost to rot & decay Not only its tantrums will it best be known But giving with pleasure for life to be sewn We should be caring for both land & sea Long taken for granted by both you & me C-More ®
