Dear Ronald,

I truly love the sea and all it graciously offers to us. One day, humankind will learn that the awesome forces of nature have a life of their own and their freedom is to be cherished just as we cherish our own. Let us live in harmony with all Creation.

Love, Joy & Peace,
Joseph

Mother nature always wins...she has nothing but time on her hands and her purpose is to reclaim all that has been taken from her. Very nice write, Ron. Strong and clear thoughts grace this page.
Take care,
Sherry

But the sea is as relentless,
as the Ancient Mariner's rhyme.

I truly believe it is, and I truly like this poem, Ron. And I believe we humans will never conquer Mother Nature, no matter how smart we think we are.

So true...so very true and we all know of New Orleans and some of the great minds of Europe are saying Amsterdam is next. Wisdon is a warning not to be ignored. Thanks Ron.

Nature changed the face of the earth. Not much we can do about it although scientists now say it is our fault. Loved the poem.

Wow..Ron
I concur with Eileen below completely..
It is all about Natural Reclamation..
In the long run, I believe New Orleans is a goner..

Wow Ron! Exceptional piece! methinks you're on the right track. Humanity forgets the act of reclamation! We would do well to
heed your message.I fear for New Orleans...Not necessarily from Ernesto, but the ones to come in the future, and they surely will!

Love,
Eileen

Yes, and this is the thing the natives and animals know instinctively, but the further we move away from understanding this about nature and build cities on the water's edge, the mountain sides, etc. we will still face these disasters-Pompeii could happen anytime, but we like as humans to think we have nature under control-thanks for this very well-written and thought-provoking poem.
