Ocean

“Ocean by Maisie Aletha Smikle

Lovely beautiful blue ocean
From whence did you come?
The earth you have graced
Creatures you have embraced

A home you have been to many
The great black whale
Fishes and eels
Corals and reefs

Oh from whence did you come?
Oh great vast wide ocean
Enough raindrops could not fill the ocean’s basin
Neither melted snow or hail

From whence did all the salt come?
To season water so vast
Just in the right portion
Neither tasteless or too salty

Water that never depletes
Dissipate or evaporate
Since the world began
Water that is always tasty

No matter the amount
Of tasteless crystal raindrops
That is added to the ocean’s wide basin
It’s always seasoned just right

Not too salty
Not too tasteless
Indeed our Creator is the best
Always working...Keeping the ocean at it's best”


― Maisie Aletha Smikle
