Looks like Vero Beach, FL until the end!

THE DEEP BLUE

Touching each and every shore
With a soft caress. Gentle
When I want to be --
The sea.

Or roaring with abandon
Screaming -- venting my anger
At man to implore
Restore

My clear life-giving waters
My unpolluted beaches
It must be begun
And done

A matter of existence
Not only mine -- yours too
If you don't concur
Be sure

Across my width, breadth and depth
All of us will pay, some day
Your only defense?
No sense!

Don't wait 'til it's too late
And all life is near an end
Ask with your last breath --
Why death?

It seems I continually pick up
after others, especially when out
in the country...

it's such a shame, how we treat
Mother Nature...

I love the structure and rhyme scheme of this piece of wisdom.

Abe, this is beautifully written.
I like the way you rhymed the last two
lines of each verse.
