Dancing Ocean and Seas

The rippling blue, with specks of white
Dancing in the morning light
The shadows now buried deep
Those ocean creatures woken from sleep
Do they exchange secret tales
Of hills that stand like sentinels?
Against the fiercest storms and gales
Guarding the waters a stately wall  
And where do they go?
These waves that be
Smiling from here to eternity
Are they tidings from another sea?
Do they merge in warm embrace
In pure and blissful ecstasy?
