Contest-The Earth's Oceans-11/8/25
Sponsor- Contance La France
"There is no greater universe on the Earth than the ocean" Poet Sailing ships from Boston's Harbor brave the cold waters of the Atlantic where storms appear without warning and take seafarers to the bottom of the sea Church bells will ring for each one who has died They will be remembered; the rest sail on The scent of the sea fills their souls as they are wanderers of the sea winds Their face toward the rising sun with waves churning against the bow finding freedom washed by their dreams released from the troubles of life Moving with the clouds, they follow trailing the whales that breach the waters before them sharing a measure of awe, feeling small with eyes toward the horizon Becoming one with the ocean allows their soul to drift away tasting salt-filled air with each breath sailing on the sea in a dream
