A Whale's View of the Ocean

Oh graceful enchanting Ocean!
Your brilliant mesmerising waves
captivated my heart,
I can hear them calling to me,
can feel them
embracing me gently
As you summon them back and forth,
They invitingly drag me along,
As the sirens sing their song.

Oh resplendent sparkling sea!
I long for a life filled with wonder
On your infinite azure blue,
Waving my tail joyfully
As the day starts anew,
Orange and yellow lights dancing radiantly in the waters,
A miraculous sight.
As the dazzling sun sets,
Shining slanted beams of sunlight
Stretching across the vast ocean 
As stars brighten the night.

Oh mysterious tides!
A world filled with endless possibilities,
Bathing calmly in this boundless sapphire-filled bathtub,
As your sprays tenderly brush my face
While partying with the sunlight
With beauty and grace.
Upon you I sail, 
Transcending beyond imaginations to lands afar,
Freedom and adventure
Is what you are.

Beautifully inked down. As deficiency is just a perception. Maybe for you it is but for others it is their pillar of strength.

the whale's god is the sea. Nicely put, Jamie. Wish you the best in the contest. Can't think of anything to enter; but you needn't worry about competition. This is powerful writing. Great personification and super imagery.
