UNDER THE SEA

Beneath the sea.
So many wonders to see.
Colors and textures to explore.
Is man welcome in this private
domain of sea life?
Once man swims below,
they scurry away, frightened.
Where they had once felt safe
has now become
a place of fear.
Go back up to the surface,
intruders of the ocean,
and allow the creatures of the sea
to roam free once more.

THE OCEAN ROARS IN FURY

The ocean roars in fury.
As it washes away any intruders
from its gilded surface.
No boats to drift in its waters.
No swimmers to play in its waves.
Its anger is against all who
dare to enter its domain.
It lifts its arms in frustration.
It directs its violence against its shores.
No beach goers to lie in the sun.
All is dark.
All is quiet.
We must watch and wait.
Before we are allowed entry
into its vast domain.
Will we be worthy?
Is mankind ever worthy?
Will its waters recede?
The decision lies in the depths
of the deep ocean.
