Sea’s Symphony

The oceans and the seas engulf,
three quarters of our globe,
as yet it’s mostly unexplored,
it’s stories never told.
Creatures that we’ve never seen
and sounds we’ve never heard,
but man is reaching for the stars,
I find that most absurd.

If we just listened carefully
to our first Mistress, the Sea,
we’d find the very source of life
that evolved you and me.
Then knowing where we started from,
maybe we could explore
the reasons why we left our home
and crawled upon the shore.

We think we’ve made a better world
with mobile phones and all,
but even from three thousand miles
a whale can hear a call.
Our ‘inner space’ holds wonders
that mankind’s never found
and even when our Mistress calls
we just shut out the sound.

Although we all are reaching for
the planets and the moon,
there’s understanding lacking
and we’ll find out all too soon
that until we understand ourselves
we’ll crawl upon the floor,
for knowing where we first came from
is the key to our new door.

The wonders of the ocean
that as yet we do not see,
the longing felt within our heart,
her call to you and me.
the utter fascination of her everlasting lure,
are the things that draw us closer
to the water from the shore.

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

interesting.

if we can find the key
to the door of life in the sea,
then we know why we have war on the land
because the shark has showed the way.
and we already make some stories in history

Ivor,
I think the answer lies within ourselves.
For we are made of its material.

I have always thought that the ocean was more worthy of exploration than the planets...still is...
When I am watching a movie and a cell phone goes off, I do not value the convenience of a cell phone...James
