Vastness of oceans deep
Swimming with endless wonders
Encouraging what world should keep
Heavens answer with thunder
Vastness of universe
Swimming with infinite stars
Encouraging nature’s free verse
Heavens address from afar
Vastness of instinct flows
Swimming to every shoreline
Encouraging children, let’s grow
Heavens praise learning’s outline
Vastness of human mind
Swimming toward tomorrow
Encouraging love, always kind
Heavens remove all sorrow
Vastness of creation
Swimming with unending light
Encouraging every nation
Heavens transform man’s foresight

Writing poetry allows the creator to take a theme and journey into the depth of its wonders.
