The Sea

At time she feeds the birds And helps merchants on their way. At times she opens up her heart, Allowing man to play. She houses amphibians and marine life. We observe her calm side. Her lunar attraction causes water levels To swell well beyond their boundaries. Her depth is unimaginable With its many and well kept secrets. She is fertile, daily giving birth to new life In her deep-dark waters. Though she sends out liquid nourishment For the thirsty lands. And solid perishables to feed the hungry, She is volatile, and can be quite turbulent When her demeanor changes. She is the sea.
