O shout exultant for the blackened sea
Whose dancing crests shimmer in moonlight
Before the sun escapes the dragon, bright
Across the waves that break against the scree .
Bolts of Zeus, and sol ultraviolence
Stir the cauldron chuckling on mantle fire:
Jellyfish umbrella, worms toss in mire,
The fish sprout legs for sundry scientists
To classify .   Sails full of salty air
Power prows that snip the ocean fabric
For conquest, trade, and mapping the afric ;
For exotic spices and panda bears .
Life bloomed in the swells from trident stirring ;
The tide still echoes in blood-flow whirring .
