The depth of every ocean Hides its immortal soul Each fertile pulsing wave Brings life to every shore As men march off to death In every human war And blood flows back to life In rivers wide and long While aeons mirror life In every eternal song And history etched in sand Spills on endlessly Through the story of our lives In every foreign land
Author notesThoreau's quote "In wildness is the preservation of the world" fit my thoughts this morning as I pondered the wonder and the meaning of it all.

You are always so supportive that I think you are my #1 fan. I appreciate your stopping in today to read my work. And I will get back with you on that question you asked earlier. Touchy subject. Anyway, thanks again, you made my day, John!!!
