Notes About The Poem

Sea In Life

It’s a wonderful feeling as you gladly air your sweet melody The canticle of your ebbs is heard from your sweet glee Children shriek with laughter as they feast in haste Adults lay down to feel your scent and enjoy the rest. The blue sky is the reflection of your innate beauty The Mighty Creator had laid you down there for everybody Your smiles spark in different hue of blue and green But at snap of fingers, your splendor has been stolen The clear blue sky draws its huge curtain on your sight As the spilled oil tinges and oozes its ominous color of the night The sun sets in the middle of the day, does he go and ask for help? Scream is heard when you’re left alone in yelp The dawn has to come; yet, you’re still down there and helpless But waves rise up collecting your strength which scattered into pieces Your calmness echoes in hope as you keep yourself in prayer That someone will take you out from an odious nightmare Soon you’ve a glimpse of light from afar, just out there The sun’s vigilant call lighting up the hearts of every scavenger Shining brightly once more as they work on amelioration in short range You realize that sadness and pains are transient in this world of change The sun finally opens the curtain for a clearer and brighter sky The scavengers work hand-in-hand, in starvation they’re afraid to die Waves move towards the shore shaking their ears like cute puppies Taking care of sea creatures and throwing all unwanted wastes. The Mighty Creator is so good, He always let the sun shines again, Through prayers and strong faith, hope will be strengthen And when humans, the stewards work with nature in perfect harmony A brighter tomorrow comes in His Divine Mercy.

It's heartbreaking about the oil spills and I enjoy how in tune you are with nature here. Yes, we are stewards of the earth and doing such a poor job of it. Great poem, my friend.
