Ocean's Incursions

Stinging breadth of vast expanse with the haze on the water heavy and dense Blue birds litter the ocean ways with tail feathers no longer needed Barges float a weightless wonder under the breath of the rolling thunder Grey steel bolts with rusted tears staining the hull with visions Flags rising out to declare bright hope as the cold graves settle on a final note The pride of the crew still mystifies monsters which hum under depths with their vibrating sonar allowing the shadows to block out their sunlight and bleed oil blood crack of doom Shoulders of mankind heavy with guilt settled in ocean's souring silt Egos will break into egg shells and boil as the depths vomit out all the ocean's incursions.
