Far From Submissive
A placid Ocean ripples with
undulating, hypnotic waves.
And lost within Her depth's embrace;
lies the bodies of kings and slaves.
Exposing forgotten treasures;
cascading breakers seed the shore.
And hint at what still lies submerged;
deep within Her ebony core.
She is a seductive siren;
luring fishermen and whalers.
And yet, She's far from submissive;
drowning impertinent sailors.
A potent brew of emotions;
gets preserved in Her salty brine.
And many crave that elixir;
savoring Her bittersweet wine.
Her beauty lies just out of reach,
yet it's that allure men die for.
And it's said time synchronizes
with Her tides as they wash ashore.
