The Sea Circles - A Poem By Micaela Jones

Painting by Drew Brophy

God made the sea.

In it, He put fish, whales & porpoises.

But He even put the smallest things in it,

Like the plankton.

Without it, the fish would die

And there’d be no fish.

Without the fish, the whales would die, too.

The porpoises, three.

Without them, humans cease.

If there be no whales & porpoises in the sea,

There’d be no movement.

The winds could cause waves to roar

Once, twice or thrice.

But storms are not forever.

They only come once in a while per year.

“That isn’t enough!” Mother Nature says.

It isn’t the wind that only causes movements

Upon the seas.

It is the creatures that glide & flip

Through the water. Or, float.

Without them, the oceans would be still

And dead. All of life wouldn’t exist.

Neither would joy nor destruction.
