The Sea

Deep Blue
Spreading farther than one’s eyes reach
The Life of the planet
It’s Blue Blood
Ebbing and Flowing to the tides

Thinking of its vast presence
Remembering there is more Ocean than Continent
It’s reminiscent of ourselves..
More Water than Dust
Soon to be mere Dust

And like Life
It may be Calm and Blue,
Plentiful in Life
Perfection.
And the next Day
A Homicidal Psychopath
Her blood, Blue, and ours, Red,
Make Purple

So there is Us….
An Island
Surrounded by this Life and Death..
We love her Calm Purr…
But Fear her Gargantuan Roar…
We have witnessed her Power..
The massacres..
Yet..
We can’t blame Her…
Unlike Ours…
Her Violence isn’t a Choice.
