PEARLS
Spring or fall
Fall or spring
How deep and
Irresistible is the ocean
Waiting prostrate
Rivers run to her from ice tops
In oily back streets
Shuckers find pearls
But never her
Mighty is the ocean
And our wine sweet
And tall masts in the harbour
Are trees on the sea
And we'll sip on the sweet
And sit by the shore
Wharf water gold as honey
Where the white yachts moor
The ocean is the mother
Without her the earth is dust
Her virtues are legion
The reason for all seasons
Spring or fall
Fall or spring
Fall or spring
How deep and
Irresistible is the ocean
Waiting prostrate
Rivers run to her from ice tops
In oily back streets
Shuckers find pearls
But never her
Mighty is the ocean
And our wine sweet
And tall masts in the harbour
Are trees on the sea
And we'll sip on the sweet
And sit by the shore
Wharf water gold as honey
Where the white yachts moor
The ocean is the mother
Without her the earth is dust
Her virtues are legion
The reason for all seasons
Spring or fall
Fall or spring

my gawd whale!
this alone set me ablaze, i had one
big [Oooooo] moment lol, go on and
laugh because you know you want to -
""Spring or fall
Fall or spring"""
all of it as a whole ripped opened my core, i'd rather spring even when falling
where is wall space when needed most ..

A pagan epic that must have sent ripples through Gaia as you penned it whale.

I liked its clarity and directness (and the subtle hint or warning): "The ocean is the mother
Without her the earth is dust"... I assume, what made you can end you... Loved it!
