Sea World
I think I know why the ocean flows - From the poem, I think I know why the ocean flows by Vijay Pandit
During one stormy winter season, I lived in a 50-foot boat for a couple of months. I also know that the Atlantic waters on the east coast of the USA are warm, and I'm aware that the Pacific Ocean waters on the west coast are cold. But beyond the Pacific's sandy beaches where she flashed me real good, or just at the exit of the Golden Gate on a short Bay Cruise, I have not been out into any of the world's oceans and seas. But I have heard the fog horns alerting ships coming to port, and still, I know so little about the seven seas. But I think I know why the ocean flows.*
she flows to keep the world afloat
she flows to greet the sandy beaches
she flows because she has places to go
she flows because of the moon commands
she flows to keep the salt from killing her
She flows because the gravity forces her
she flows because she's dancing with the wind
she flows to keep continents separate and sovereign
she flows because she's alive; only dead things are still
She flows because she knows that mobility prolongs life
she flows because she's ever receiving the waters of the world
she flows because she got word that the Dead Sea could not flow
