The Power of the Sea

Eons ago, we think, came the big bang

Explosions, explosions, and planets began.

Thunder and lightning occurred

And life from the elements stirred.

Mountains and lakes and oceans were born

Volcanoes and earthquakes the norm

Barbados a product of just such a story

And Bathsheba boasts its amazing beauty.

 

Craggy cliffs gave rise to giant rocks

With great waves crashing against the shore—

But at night there’s music of soothing surf

Healing tensions and fears to the core

For the power of the mountains, the land and the sea

Is a healing balm to set us free.
