Oceans And Seas


Important note about this poem:
After Adam's fall,
After the great deluge,
After the tower of Babel,
God desired to physically
Keep mankind disconnected.
Thus, separation by continents
By way of oceans and seas.

"...and the waters that were gathered
together he called Seas. ...". Gen.1.10b

Out of me,
the Contenents came,
And my waves against
their shores were my greeting

My depth is defying
My waves are trying
My winds are unforgiving
I am the oceans and the seas

The fog is blinding
Not a time for crying
Everything keeps moving
Unlike the river flowing
I am the oceans and the seas

Here, everything's rushing
The brave ones are fishing
For shrimp and tuna; craving
I am the oceans and the seas

I, the mistress of partitioning
I, the master of disconnecting
I also major in separating
I too, minor in dividing
I am the oceans and the seas

The massive pathway for conquering
The gigantic roadway for discovering
The first highway to faraway traveling
I am the oceans and the seas
