Oceans Sink To Levels


Oceans sink to normal depths

Water seeks its own level in the dark

No land is ever completely dry

Deserts rise with tides of sand


On every side there is no end in sight

No sun fills in what time begins

When reaching to the heavens

Under pressure to survive


Size does not matter to the stars

Oceans go alone and where they want to

But not too far due to weight considerations

Completely deep and measured in their style

So many walls of water to fill in

Nothing holds them back


Planets come from far away to take a drink

In deep space there is only questions of emptiness

So emissaries are sent as asteroids and comets come

From remote locations not worth mentioning

Not in a single sentence any way


Impacts reshape the world

Fill in the meteoric distance when they land

Found on desert floors far from the shore

Sound travels far below

Well below the surface of the earth


Oceans never visit there but listen in

Hearing only what the sand permits

Waves cascading over rocks

Were made to lick the shore

They understand but never talk


Even if they wanted to be less than wet

Oceans go down there where they belong

They cover distances in liquid
