Shhhush ...
I was walking along the shore of the sea
And I faintly heard a voice shushing me
"Shhhush ... if you would have just hushhhed
Slowed down and not been in such a rush
If you would've been still and let things be
There would still be more of my sea to see
If you would've left your ears ajar
You'd of heard the voices of afar
Trying to get a message thru
To you and to mankind too
Saying if you'd watched where you'd tread
You wouldn't of left behind anything dead
In the footprints of your progress
Lay the ones you have regressed
To no longer exist as they did before
In man's quest to have to have more
Man didn't bother to ponder and look ahead
What in the future results of would be read
Man took more out of the sea than the need
And he has destroyed much of it in his greed"
I was listening to what the sea
Was trying to get across to me
When a wave came rushing in encircling my toes
And then it took me down below in its undertow
I gasped as my air began rushing out of me
And once again I heard the voice of the sea
"Shhhush, if you'd just hush
You would feel the rush
Flowing far down here below
Of life as was meant to know"
Frightened, but able to breathe
Somehow I was allowed to see
Wonders surround
Me all around ...
The wondrous things of the sea
Gathered me in, then took me
On a journey to where
Life had began there
Amazed ...
I gazed ...
To see the tiniest
Up to the largest
Forms of the sea life living together
Dependent upon each one another
Working together kept life alive
In order for them all to survive
The sea showed and enlightened me
To how its life flow was meant to be
Then it returned me back to shore
And I heard this sudden loud roar
Shushing me but louder more
Than it'd shushed me before
However you conceive that life had began
You best believe its end will come by man
So take this message sent by way of me
And go and tell mankind from the sea ...
Now it's time for him to rush ...
Before all of life is hushhhed" ...
