The Ocean

THE OCEAN 

  

She welcomes me in all her vast glory

her majestic and immense presence

a billion sparkles of light shimmer

like diamonds scattered around her

reflecting against the suns rays

and tempoarily erased with foam tipped crests

She is life in its most natural form

for so much vitality covers every part of her

she sways in a rythmic motion singing a watery lullaby

and below, energy exists in a perfect symphony

filled with resplendant colors and continuous  motion

in the steady universal flow of the circle of life..

The clouds linger above her always following

drifting in their perpetual moodiness

having the ability to change at any moment

within them the power to anger the aqueous mass below

the current surging forward in a temper tantrum

as it curls and rises towards the summoning sandy base

The sun is harsh burning hot and salt seasons the lips

as seagulls swirl and hover above crying out

looking for hidden treasures below the canopy of the sea

where exotic creatures move to and fro in an uninvasive world

existing in a mysterious space of refined senses,

concerts of soft melodies and spectacular light shows

Above, the horizon is seen in the distance through the haze

Its orange and purple colors like a broad paint stroke across the sky

the moons light bounces off the waters guiding them with its tractive force

 as night takes over day, the changing colors are not only a feast for the eyes

but a reminder to cherish the moment, for tomorrow is not promised

and as we sail towards the future, our dreams lie as endless as the ocean ...
