HYMN TO OUR SEVEN SEAS
Have you seen majestic giant whales spring?
Have you seen dolphins dancing
and the fish that mornings take wing
like a flash so enhancing?
See all the creatures of our deep ocean.
All there to teach us of beauty in motion
As we do wonder like a deep sea diver
Such consuming colors will guide us
Hoping Neptune will stand beside us.
Save this kingdom of lasting freedom
It will sweeten every breath and deepen
our earthly treasure with good measure.
Save these waters
for our sons and daughters.
Have you seen the tropic fish of angels?
Drifting through breathtaking coral reefs
See all the flowers within this ocean
As we are swimming believing
the hour comes for emotion!
Embarking on a maiden voyage
wishing to communicate, receiving
the expressiveness of companionship.
Looking into the eyes of a penguin
Feeling its pining and an utmost caution
as its habitat melts in winter.
Helplessly floundering in mystic circles
falling dizzily in a mermaid’s arms.
Giving it solace as all burns to cinders.
Hauntingly hoping is the distant hymn
spinning counterpoint as we encircle
the distant cry of the whale as he softens
the painful memory of the phase we enter.
The free release of his melody brings fellowship
to interact commencing heartfelt compassion
and deeper conscious to reenact our souls within.
We implore ourselves to think in leisure
to beseech mankind to save marine life from harm.
Becoming aware of this needless destruction
while pleading to render their lives secure.
Save this kingdom of lasting freedom
It will sweeten every breath and deepen
our earthly treasure with good measure.
Save these waters
for our sons and daughters.
Hand in hand snorkeling in the port of Aqaba
watching a school of gorgeous sea urchins
swimming through an unassuming water tortoise
in a buoyant and blissful harmonious perfection.
Awaken to Mother Nature’s cantata
and let it be the inspirational stimulus
for all of Poseidon’s meandering virgins’
interplay with a congenial introspection.
Experiencing the intricate sonata
of the network of our cetacean culture
revering their knowledge and purpose.
Affinity is found with aspiring wishes to nurture
and acknowledge these underwater beings so beauteous.
Then we will pledge a God-given mission with a resurgence
of sensitivity as we underscore a colossal petition.
Save this kingdom of lasting freedom
It will sweeten every breath and deepen
our earthly treasure with good measure.
Save these waters
for our sons and daughters.
