Once Upon An Ocean

Once Upon An Ocean Once upon an ocean Ubiquitous blue scratches the surface of the sea Exposing white caps on the mirrored sky Wind itches to begin and laps the salt Orange sun gravitates away with waves on distances Ships fold and roll, moving on mountains made of water Sudden storms arise like magic above the rain Wet to the touch, it cries on sails, laden down with sin Washed over, slapped in the face by angry seas Wooden beams baptized by the crash of endless waves Lumber that stood once and lived as bold green trees in forests Sky weighs the seagulls down No parachutes for them Oblivious to it all Ubiquitous blue lies on the body of the ocean Settles with the tides when lands roll in
