The Ocean Is Timeless

The ocean is timeless and forever more The big waves will splash on the rocks of the shore And centuries before the first homo sapiens looked on the lamp of day The rivers to saltwater have been babbling their way For many seafarers a watery grave Many have drowned in the big waves including the young and the brave Many who have braved the sea storms where danger abound Their mortal remains never more to be found The one who fish in the stormy sea must not be right in the mind Either that or is one of the suicidal inclined Some of those who in the deep waters have died Their bodies never washed to shore in the high tide How old is the ocean none can claim to know As old as the rivers that to it do flow Time that does claim all life forms never becomes it's foe Though the Seasons of Nature do come and do go Like it does everyone else time will take care of me For all life forms are born to mortality And though fortune it is said does favor the brave For some sad to say a deep watery grave.
