1 Etznab
White Magnetic
Mirror
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Second largest in the World
She ebbs and flows with Tides eternal
Reaching out with Waves unfurled
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Atlantic she is called in our own
Tongue
Yet she does sing in Tongues
unnumbered
Songs for every Land and Old and
Young
There is an Ocean by the Highlands---
Laughing with the dancing Stars of
Night
She captures all celestial Beams and
Planets
Within her endless Lattices of Light
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Kissing all the Shells upon the Shore---
She stretches salty Arms around her
Islands
As if to say she could not love them
more
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
Between two Continents does she sit---
Protecting all that lives beneath her
Surface
Bearing to her Ports each noble Ship
There is an Ocean by the Highlands
She is the Stuff of Life and Lore---
She beckons all with Swells unceasing
As did Poseidon for fair Athena roar.
