Today's word is "oceanicity" ... oh-shuh-nis-i-tee ... the degree to which the climate of a place is influenced by the sea. (Dictionary.com)
La Mer
In the little village,
Nestled by the sea,
Gulls cry in weary fervor,
As they skyward flee.
The breeze is soft and salty,
Boats bob restlessly,
Waiting anxious there for captains,
To untie, and set them free.
As the ships are to their harbor,
In their oceanicity,
So we to God's fair city gaze,
And for his mercy plead.
