The Ocean

The Ocean What is there to say about the ocean except that it’s deep and blue And if you listen closely you can hear it speak to you. It will tell you of the creatures that call it’s depths their home and of the ships and sailors and the horizons that they roam. It will tell you about the battles that have turned it’s waters red, and how mankind has used it as a graveyard for their dead. It will speak of weary travelers that journeyed from a far, guided by ancient compasses and the placement of the stars. It will tell you of the shipwrecks that lay beneath it’s depths, And of their buried treasures and the secrets that they’ve kept. It will tell you tales of vacations taken by it’s shores, of the families that have gathered there and those that came before It will warn you of it’s power and the fury born within, of the destruction it unleashes and the peace that it can bring. It will tell you all it’s secrets and the answers that you seek If you just sit very quietly and let the ocean speak.
