I've posted this on the American forums, but those buggers mostly just made fun of me. So I'll try it here.. it's a bit depressing though (the subject being our dying reefs). It's meant to be the reef speaking to the tide...
Reef to the Tide
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
Tide bring back the sea
and bring life back to me
The little ones are dying fast
The larger ones, now of the past
You go at the moon's demand
each day to make sea of dry land
Drag out the old, bring in the new
For countless years it's all I knew
But now you drag and drag on more
Bring little back to my empty shore
Tide won't you bring back the sea?
Was it you who took it all from me?
The living stones and talking sands
and soft little ones with many hands
This loss is great and is felt by all
But to where do a reef's tears fall?
Each day you go at the moon's request
To bring it back you do your best
But soon there won't be much here
Thousands gone, or more I fear
For with you comes poison and pain
as ghosts of finned beasts haunt in vain
Tide will you bring back the sea?
Once there's little left of me?
Or will you take the waters away
And end this miserable day [/FONT]
