The Sea Remembers

The Sea remembers
True stories
Floating on water
Resting on dark sand

Eons of dinosaurs
The last days of Pompeii
The Great Barrier Reef
Your seaside holiday
Titan tsunamis
She remembers them all

Her lesson is secret
Her wisdom sublime
Her song is harmony
The melody waveform

Roaring breakers
Sing songs of war…
Struggling surfers
Shuddering shipwrecks
The living and the dead
Sharks and sponges
Monsters of the deep

We must respect her gifts
We must not destroy her
Her music is a symphony
Performed across five oceans

Stand by the sea
Listen to her sacred sounds
Let us bless her
Protect her
Honour her
Amen
