Ocean you are the calling of my heart.<\/p>\n
You push and pull at my knee caps, beckoning me to come in and play.<\/p>\n
I respect you like I respect animals, from far away.<\/p>\n
You are the only body of water that I break the rules for when I play hide and seek.<\/p>\n
You make me meek and mild and wild and free like a little child who is forever fascinated by the sea.<\/p>\n
I am more grateful for your energy than you’ll ever know. I will not ever trade you in for snow.<\/p>\n
States of matter as in water, ice, steam, Bose-Einstein condensation and, plasma have no bearing on your state of being.<\/p>\n
Your mix of salt and H2o help you create a living breathing netting of the finest lace across the shore line.<\/p>\n
A sight for all to see.<\/p>\n
Just beneath the surface you are pulsating with life and vitality. Teaming with\u00a0sea-creatures, algae, coral, and mammals too amazing to name individually.<\/p>\n
I take great pleasure in your versatility.<\/p>\n
With over a million species of animals and plants that call your territory home, we as humans must\u00a0show gratitude\u00a0for sharing in your bounty and appreciating your magnanimity.<\/p>\n
