Mother Of The Ocean

Mother Of The Ocean

By Paul McCann

Mother of the ocean

how near and how far you are

out there somewhere

in an open place where the horizon

touches the sky and your presence lies

over the ocean.

Mother of the ocean

My thoughts drift to you

like a boat floating away

beyond where the waves break

in the sunshine where my troubles are left behind

over the ocean

 Mother of the ocean

I reflect as the stillness of the night

falls down softly over the shimmering seascape

of light from the moon and the stars

over the ocean

 Mother of the ocean

beyond the earth , there’s a  universe ,

with a cosmos of endless time ,

and we’re drifting away forever

in space and time  ,

over the ocean.
