Ocean by Martin Kennedy

Always poets gather by the sphere
always near oceans clear
waves gathering underfoot
now climbing caves inside blue breath
death of that distant star
oceans a mass say a prayer
drink gods clean air
fish beneath in complete
appearing now every year
are we joining that rich dream
that comes from mountain stream
this is a machine oceans the team
wave after wave tear oh tear
air so clear a blue sphere appear
near oceans edge daily balance
awash with new life
year after year it is so dear
and yet we fear the deep crest of oceans depths
heart unrest at yesterday flesh
fire in waves eye die oh die
but fly beyond minds eye
life in the deep always tries
blue horizon reflecting up
seeing is believing
earths listening wit its big ear
