For Poets and Story Tellers United ~ Pantry # 8 ~ We Like Multiple of Threes' ~ Oceans Torn Apart ~





A favorite song begins with the phrase: 'oceans apart, day after day and I slowly go insane', I believe the poet means that there is a special feeling of affection which makes him drowsy as the English poet Keats wrote: and a drowsy numbness pains, as if of hemlock I have drunk'. Oceans are one of the many miracles of the Creator as the Earth itself is. The water holds itself yet moves, full of life, rebirth and deaths and fathoms of fluid space, stable for all ships and boats, salty roadways, for travelers transport and sport.

‘I saw three ships come sailing by’…

O' Poseidon bestowed with the power unique
tell us the secret of the two seas that do not meet
yet flow with different colors, wave by wave, move
by move, side by side, a perfect acceptance of diversity,

Poseidon speaks, ‘Man is nothing without the Gods’
oceans or skies the sole power is with the Creator
who loves clear open hearts, He blocks nothing nor
builds walls, see my home has no doors nor windows’

All are free to enter, float, sail, swim dive or dig
I am full of food, fish, color, charms and treasures
but many living beings are careless, inconsiderate
they throw harmful waste trash plastic on and in me.

Water will not become less but will be a source of
trouble for human beings themselves, the dead will
float the dying will cry and curse, the thought makes
me shudder, storms surge, waves rise to great heights,

Water is hurt, it is red now with blood and scales
breathing is difficult, inhale a struggle, exhale an
ordeal, oil blocks unmarked   uncharted   paths
Oceanides no longer accept offerings from fans.

Home state worries Oceanus, growing more old
countless pennies coins of gold, are useless down
on the sea bed, worthless is such a treasure which
sinks and loses its values, shine and becomes cold.

A revenge rises a tsunami results, as the grand
bowl shakes  jolts jumps and throws up-
beware O People …I envision a huge surge…
sing not any songs nor lie naked on the beach

Pray pray pray peace,  repentance forgiveness seek

"Water is hurt" does a fantastic job at describing the terrible state of our oceans. We haven't been responsible with what Nature has given us. And I fear that by the time all of us realize (and accept this failing), it might be too late.

Oceans – so beautiful, so powerful. As are your words and the images they create.
