The Appeal of the Sea
“THE APPEAL of the SEA” ©
The troubled torrents upon the beach pour
Constantly claiming the sands of the shore
Vexed for good reason with purpose assured
Pounding and thrashing some threats are here stored
Restless in action and heady with need
Racing so often much creatures to feed
Dashing & splashing inciting some fear
Meanwhile inviting to those with more dare
Roaming all over companion the sky
Giving all color no matter how high
Crashing & churning with consummate ease
All as if playing or perhaps in tease
Shifting & prancing is just to get back
Sustaining the life with all it may lack
All finding succor in shallow & deep
Determined by nature each one to so keep
Ebbing and flowing is one & the same
Feeding all nations in His Holy name
Moving forever as if in a dance
Honoring nature not merely by chance
Shimmering often pervasive in sleep
Still holding your stare while yet dancing deep
Embracing rivers regardless of state
Where else could they go before it’s too late
They too conspire to dump more than silt
Aided by humans who bear the most guilt
Were it to be steady as lying in bay
Then all would be lost to rot & decay
Not only its tantrums will it best be known
But giving with pleasure for life to be sewn
We should be caring for both land & sea
Long taken for granted by both you & me
