One Water...or Many?

For so long

I never gave any thought

to the many names

we as humans

have given

to identify our oceans, rivers, lakes and streams.

I used to think that each was separate and individual!

And now

I wonder if that is true?

 

Are the waters of the Pacific Ocean

one and the same
as the Atlantic Ocean?

Temperatures may change...
but
aren't our oceans truly one water?

 

I thought I knew...

and now I'm not so sure.

What do you think?
