Voice of the Sea

Listen closely

Voice of the sea, song of the brave,

Cry of the deep, music of the wave.

*

Shimmering, bubbling ocean sounds,

Swelling flowing all around.

Rhythm coursing, rising, reeling

Growing, ebbing, soothing, healing.

*

Voice of the sea, song of the brave,

Cry of the deep, music of the wave.

*

Hear her calling, hear her cry.

Hear her pleading, “Why, oh why

Must you treat me viciously?

Change your habits, leave me be.”

*

Every creature gather near.

Circle closely, lend an ear.

Move your body to the beat.

Share your dance while I repeat:

*

Voice of the sea, song of the brave,

Cry of the deep, music of the wave.
