Love of the Ocean



Lover of the Ocean

Moonlight shines it's beauty light
On aqua waters lovely plight

Universal solvent upon this Earth
Without the presence of it's birth

Life on the planet could not to be found
And man would not stand on solid ground

Marine life , Sea life , plants galore
The fish that fill it's hallowed shore

Microorganisms , Bacteria too
Brings phytoplankton into view

Whales and Dolphins, Otters and Seals
Breath the air while they're eating their meals ...

While other species cannot consume
And oxygen has it's impending doom

Saline , fresh water , salt water too
Consist in contrast with notorious blue

Man still fears the beckon calls
But goes to challenge tempestuous squalls

Ocean chronicles , of unbelief
Stories told of impending grief

Vastness fills our feeble minds
To challenge the water's great design

Matter and Matrix , the Mother of life
I love the Ocean and I welcome it's strife
