Oceans Sink To LevelsA Poem by Earl SchumackerPerspectives on the water worldOceans Sink To Levels
Oceans sink to normal depths Water seeks its own level in the dark No land is ever completely dry Deserts rise with tides of sand
On every side there is no end in sight No sun fills in what time begins When reaching to the heavens Under pressure to survive
Size does not matter to the stars Oceans go alone and where they want to But not too far due to weight considerations Completely deep and measured in their style So many walls of water to fill in Nothing holds them back
Planets come from far away to take a drink In deep space there is only questions of emptiness So emissaries are sent as asteroids and comets come From remote locations not worth mentioning Not in a single sentence any way
Impacts reshape the world Fill in the meteoric distance when they land Found on desert floors far from the shore Sound travels far below Well below the surface of the earth
Oceans never visit there but listen in Hearing only what the sand permits Waves cascading over rocks Were made to lick the shore They understand but never talk
Even if they wanted to be less than wet Oceans go down there where they belong They cover distances in liquid © 2019 Earl Schumacker |
