Hymn to the ocean
As far as eyes can see
Lying ahead till blue horizon
Never resting water of the sea
Seagulls hushing through the air
Splashing into water like a spear
Catching swimming fish in pairs
Huge waves in never ending motion
Roaring and foaming sounds
As if in praying devotion
Frightening deep depths
Coral’s sharp edges
Ships ending as wrecks
Many forbidden passions
Laid on inviting shorelines
Washing over emotions
Splendors of the pacific
Forces of the Atlantic
Full of boasting energy
Underworld’s population
Enchanted temptations
Mermaids whisper their
Love hymn to the ocean

I would like to translate this poem
I like the last sentences which are strong 'Underworld’s population/ Enchanted temptations Mermaids whisper their / Love hymn to the ocean' The imagery is well planned and well penned. I enjoyed it dear Mencita. It deserves a 10-. Joseph Josephides Member of the International Society of Poets (ISP) Intern.Library of Poetry awarded
