Line Gauthier Poet Ode

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Mother Ocean

birth mother of our planet
in harmony with your solar partner
your cycles providing the very essence of life
today we salute you and your virtues

you’ve sustained unspeakable wrongdoings
through man’s history been overlooked and abused
ignorance and short sightedness a poor excuse
your mighty power could exact revenge but no

seeming to turn a blind eye to obscene shenanigans
your moon lover knows how to soothe your sorrow
you’ve been blessed with the wisdom of eternity
through the ages you’ve seen species come and go

we know you’re hurting in the dead of night
biding time with karma around the corner
yes indeed… forgiving mankind for once again
they know not what they do ~
