Question: Why should one speak to the Ocean!?
After lunch at the beach on a changeable day:

On the Jetty
by Elaine Polin

Your moods change
sans warning:
furious tides,
gentle waves,
ebb and flow--
in each mood,
wild or calm
I feel your
waters flow
through my veins
to my heart
bringing life!.

On this site we speak to the poem, not the question!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My Uncle Ebb had a small bait shop in the Ozarks!. He spoke to Tablerock Lake all the time!. In fact, at the home now, he sits by the window and sings her songs!. One of them goes like this!.!.!.

"Why are you wet in the water way
Why are you drowning in tears
Let me hold onto your buckets
Not this one, it holds the beer!.!.!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Why do some speak to plants and trees, why not the ocean as well as the breeze, it seems to me all has a whisper to each ear if we hear!.
