Big Enough To Hold The Sea

If the plugs of the ocean were pulled The waters would quickly congregate Into the earth until it is full, Then the rest would have some unknown fate. It might do like a puddle and dry Within a day or two… maybe three, Then along the coast would be fish fry And vultures and vermin would spree Until they die with the rest of earth; Or it might refill and save all life... If flasks were chosen for volume’s worth Not one would best the heart of my wife To hold the sea and allow rebirth. As the plug is made to heal again, She will present enough that the dirt Will never dry and life would not end. Life and all life's joys thereof remain, till sea could manage its own; I know because she did this with love And kept my heart from turning stone. Copyright ©2011 Leslie Alexis
