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
                     C-More ®
