VOICES OF THE OCEAN


Motion sickness

Quickness drying

Deals are dying

No glad tidings

Tides are upturned

Dreams have been churned

Death of nocturnes

Listless endures

Air like curtains

Blocking entrails

Swift as ship sails

Lifelines bail


How to fix

This endless blitz?

Reefs are calling

Dunes are falling

Oceans sliding

Tides are stalling

Hear the sirens

Save environs

No sure findings

Science binds us

Needs to find us

Ways to tie us

To our timeline

Crafted pipelines

Fearless in guise

Surfers hear


The true cries
