Mother Ocean

She's not exactly what you would expect.
Her lovelife is in shambles from her heart being wrecked.
And although her outward appearance has an unpolished shine,
You never expect to see the beauty beneath all the brine.
But inside is a world nigh beyond compare
Where seahorses dance and puffers prance
-and the lobsters ...just sit ...and stare.
Where dolphins dispense intelligence
And great whales chant their ohm.
Where a cavalcade of creatures
Have come to call her home.
Her moods can change with the weather.
She shows her anger with such force.
And no one could ever tame her,
You just try to keep on course.
But inside, there is a symmetry
Between the beings in her womb.
All those who have opposed her serenity
Lie beneath her in their tomb.
Abuse she suffered by a hand she loved
That would take and take and never give.
So she tried her best to recede
But how on earth could she live?
