Dear Oceans
Your waves have whispered the secrets of the deep, carrying tales of ancient mariners and the songs of the siren. You have cradled life in your arms, nurturing it with your boundless grace. Your tides have danced under the moonlight, a ballet of ebb and flow that has soothed the weary souls who walk your shores.
But now, your blues fade to gray, your vibrant life gasps for breath, and your waves carry a plea. We have taken from you without thought, without pause, leaving scars upon your surface and darkness in your depths. Your coral kingdoms are crumbling, and your marine children are lost, their colours dimmed by our neglect.
Yet, even as you suffer, you give. You give us one last chance to right our wrongs, to heal the wounds we've inflicted. Your love is as deep as your trenches, as enduring as the currents that traverse your heart.
We vow to love you better, to cherish the treasure that you are. We will fight for your revival, for the return of your cerulean splendour. We will be the guardians you so desperately need, the voice that speaks for your silent depths.
With every fibre of our being, we promise to honour you, to restore the love that humanity has forgotten. You are not just an ocean; you are the lifeblood of this Earth, the keeper of mysteries, the source of all that is wild and free.
With undying love and unwavering commitment,
Dana Durnford
