I
I am the boundaries that divide
placed by politics
a mockery of continents
ill-placed border crossings
blockades
walls
no-flight zones
international waters
can be changed
by exploration
treaty or war
II
One day I split continents
still eruptions and quakes
know no boundaries
with my heights and my depth
salty waters
fresh streams
flowing over me
I create weather and air
take care
of me

Nice last two lines. Something/one so powerful to split continents we should take care of.

The ocean is so many different things… but what we forget that how close the sea is to our tears.

Oh wow, Jane. What was effective about this was that you broke the “rules” to the prompt to convey how little the first voice considers the second voice, who coincidentally, does the addressing. No, the first is all me me me bravado and construed power. But the second voice is life-affirming in content and in tone. Such a good read!
