Ocean Song

The waves

      a constant

  beckon for play

    sounds soothe

the ocean song

   is one of creation

 rising from the water

   coming to land

we return

   to the water

feeling weightless

   floating

  flipping

   frolicking

letting cold

  water

 catch our toes

   or whole

    bodies

submerge

  splash

 immerse

I stand and watch

   the vast

 space

the horizon

  a soothing balm

     to my soul

troubles blown away

    by breezes

 sparkles capture

    my attention

shining sun settles

  in the clouds

awash with colors

   and my children

are water babies

   finding comfort

        joy

purpose

  in the waves

the animals

   appear

to play

  the whales, dolphins

splash

   seek

the pelicans glide

   dive

the ocean

   a bounty

of

 hope

we sing an ocean song

  thrumming in our veins

    the salt

the smell

 the plenty

   the play

working to preserve

   the wondrous depths

 the giant gentle

    animals

 the shoreline

   the myriad creatures

the cycles

    the whole

let’s stop

   polluting

take up the plastics

   from the land and sea

stabilize

   the temperature

turn our eyes

   to the grey

the constant motion

   the steady beat

of the ocean’s song

   for it is

     our song

in our veins

   our heart

beating in rhythm

   glance

and see

   the beauty

 majesty

   mystery

of the

  ever changing

always glistening

   hum

 inside

the ocean song.
