His Magnificents

Vast and wondrous with uncharted depths is the nature of the sea.
It ever spurs on, prods, and ignites a spark in man's curiosity.
Though cold with chilling darkness and unforgiving 
runs hot with the blood of giants among the living.

Churning and thrashing against boundless shorelines,
it calls to some in its blazing glory with subtle signs.
It has swallowed great ships and become their watery grave.
It has been the pathway of both conquerors and slaves.

It has witnessed battles, triumphs, death, and defeat,
it feeds the multitudes from its ever-abundant mercy seat.
How awesome and powerful, the sound of ocean foam rising,
it gives much more than it takes without compromising.

Praise, glory, and reverence be to the creator of 
the stars in heaven and to all life on earth, land, and sea.
May all souls find the truth, honesty, and integrity in his 
wisdom, for in finding his kingdom, shall truly set one free.

The imagery, the ocean foam I hear it. A dramatic verse, Wayne Smith. The sea has witnessed for eons. Praise the Lordship! I Am Anaya
