Captivating

Here her eyes are as sapphire as blue can be
In her vision she sees,
all there is to witness 
She is reassuring and ageless
  
And at times she is green with envy 
She is vast and then see can be empty 
She is volatile and at times furious 
Her body lines are mysterious
 
But oh she is beautiful 
when the sun aluminates on her shoulder 
She is calm when she’s at rests on a bolder 

She is playful and she’ll put you through the test 
She’ll out live you, as you grow older 
She has various peaks 
and she roars when she speaks

Never underestimate her strength
for she’ll destroy you and repent
She may take over the forbidden land
with a rush from her clever hands

She has been around since the beginning of mankind 
She is our ocean, 
she is confined
