What the waves whisper...

I heard what the waves whisper...
lean into me and you'll hear;

the seas remember and long for peace,

for silent ships
and ancient leviathan

for massive shoals of sliver fish
and tales of heroes and sirens

for secret songs carried far
and deep pools along the shore

for respectful ocean tribes
and wise elders

for salty children playing, fresh and free
for great abundance; the quivering living masses that were

and are no more.

I heard what the waves whisper...
the seas long for peace.
