The Sea Speaks
The ocean, the constant sea.
Beautiful above, mysterious below.
It has always spoken to me.
I have watched the tides ebb and flow.
The ocean speaks to those who listen.
It has much more to say than just a song.
To love it, there are many reasons.
Living on its shore is where I belong.
But do we know all about the sea?
Do we understand what power it holds?
Can we learn about what it could be?
Its never ending stories should be told.
It has been here from the start.
Created when the world began.
It has played such a part.
In the beginning and progression of man.
What if someday, we destroy the land.
Something that could really occur. .
Could we look to the ocean and sand.
To provide us a life saving anchor?
The legend of Atlantis, city beneath the sea.
Has fascinated us all.
Is it something that could possibly be?
Life sustained within a great water wall.
If we listened to the waves as they come onto the shore.
Would they tell us what they can do?
It offers much, could it offer more?
It speaks of what it knows is true.
Since the beginning the ocean has maintained.
When land was ravaged and lost.
Its force has always sustained.
The sea will provide for us, at no cost.
