Who Am I? - A Riddle!

Who Am I ? I've been around since the dawn of creation Shallow at times, but also have hidden depths I am all seeing all hearing & all knowing Often icy cold but also warm at heart I am a universal force known to all But feared by some & revered by many I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you But to some still remain an enigma My extended family provide you with nourishment But sadly, are unable to quench your thirst I will give you free passage around the globe But you journey with me at your own risk To make amends for those who's lives I've taken & the destruction I've caused in anger You can now harness my power to benefit mankind In time I will light up all your lives! I am an omnipotent unstoppable force Control me at your peril , King Canute once tried & failed I am at the mercy of the omnipresent moon But the sun & stars have no control over me The greatest philosophers wrote about me I am associated with the fabled City Of Atlantis In Sanskrit I'm known as Samudra But You Can Simply Call Me Ocean! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊 © The Poetic Dinosaur🦖
