Oceans Embrace A Journey Through Life and Death
Where the sky and sea converge,
A place of beauty, raw and immense.
A place where souls can truly emerge,
And find a sense of peace and immense.
Where waves crash against the shore,
A place of power, wild and free.
A place where hearts can truly soar,
And find a sense of unity.
Where sand and rocks unite,
A place of wonder, vast and grand.
A place where dreams can take flight,
And find a sense of hope, unplanned.
So let us journey to this place,
Where Earth and water meet.
A place where we can find our grace,
And find a sense of peace, complete.
The ocean, a vast and endless sea
A metaphor for life, ever changing and free
A place where the currents of life flow
And the tides of fate ebb and flow
Like the waves that crash against the shore
Life can be rough, wild and raw
But like the tide that recedes once more
We find the strength to stand tall
Like the sea that is both calm and deep
Life holds secrets and mysteries to keep
But like the sea that reflects the sky
It's a reminder to look up and not be shy
Like the sea that is both dark and light
Life is full of both day and night
But like the sea that is always in sight
It's a reminder that it will always be in our sight.
So let us journey through this sea of life
With the ocean as our guide
For it's in its depths, we'll find the strife
And the peace that we all seek inside.
The earth, a bountiful womb
A place of life, a place of gloom
A place where all souls can rest
And find peace in life's great test
Like the vastness of the ocean's deep
The earth can hold us in its keep
Where we can lay to rest in peace
And find solace in our release
Like the stillness of the ocean's tide
The earth can hold us, side by side
Where we can find unity in death
And take a final, peaceful breath
Like the beauty of the ocean's shore
The earth can offer us an open door
Where we can find solace in the end
And leave this world as peaceful friends
So let us rest inside the earth's embrace
And find peace in our final place
For in its belly, we will all lie
And find the eternal rest, by and by
Where ocean and sky unite,
A realm of life and climate control.
A place where all can find their might,
And reach the end with a goal.
Where Great Barrier Reef resides,
A living structure in sight.
A home to many, in all tides,
And a fight against human plight.
Where ocean and air combine,
A source of breath and hope in line.
A reminder of life's design,
And the power of the marine.
