Great Ocean
Great ocean you are mother of the earth
whose span of quantum time is endless yet.
With secrets buried deep within your surf
your tidal moods are changed with day's sunset.
Great ocean life springs forth within your bowels
and yields a harvest for the world to see.
So much could just be learned from fish and fouls
the kinship that is boundless by decree.
Great ocean you have power as an element,
a thing which can’t be harnessed by a man.
At times it is quite clearly evident
as a storm at sea dictates at your command.
Great ocean you are beautiful but sad.
The world has dumped its garbage at your door.
You are holding all the plastic that’s been had.
Fish are eating it upon the ocean floor.
Great Ocean praise your salted essence pure.
Your might and darkest depths remain unknown.
You are a God hand miracle for sure
a wonderment of wonders all your own.
