Echoes of the Sea



Oh boundless and enigmatic sea,
A symbol of eternity's decree.
In your vast expanse, lies a world untold,
Where stories of the past unfold.

Oh how we yearn to understand,
The riddles of your timeless hand.
With every wave that crashes shore,
We glimpse a truth we can't ignore.

As we dive into your depths profound,
Seeking knowledge all around,
We discover a truth so clear,
That all our actions echo near.

Let us ponder our place in this grand design,
And how we can leave a legacy divine.
For in the end, we are but dust,
Yet capable of great love and trust.

May we not succumb to greed,
But nurture what we truly need.
With reverence and wisdom as our guide,
Let's protect the ocean, long denied.

Amidst chaos and despair in our wake,
Let us be the difference we can make.
With hearts full of empathy and grace,
Let's ensure the ocean's embrace.

So let our voices rise as one,
In a chorus of hope under the sun.
Together we'll stand, united and strong,
Protecting the ocean where we belong.
