Legends of the sea

They venture out into deep to recover their lost sheep
It fell overboard while they were crossing the valley
That is landlocked with the sea, and as far as they could see
They were nowhere near the shore, but the engine roars all night
But the sheep was nowhere in sight, they listen attentively for
A bleat but daylight honker down at their feet
 and they never found the lost sheep.
Morning creeps silently upon the shore
And the wave vomits its sediments on white crystal sand
And all the fishes gather on the shore and tease the rain
And the swollen clouds break loose and sprinkle its juice
Upon thirsty ground and all the sea gulls gather around 
And create a symphony on the sand.
Time has crossed its boundaries 
And the seas are filled with memories
The coral reef on which it stands 
is magnificent to look at when you are standing on dry land 
the coastline is filled with them and when
you look at them it feels like paradise roaring in heaven
and you wet your feet in the seawater, and it feels like the day after
It is the rain forest of the sea and the biodiversity
That creates the living harmony, they cover the ocean floor
And those that reach the bottom of the sea, can tell you
What life ought to be; It is the legend of the sea
That is calling thee; it has an assignment for you’
History is not lost when you consider the cost
This under water ecosystem form the image in the sea
And their reflection fills the universe and eliminates the curse
This living under water echo system that
 has you singing is spread out along
 the coastline protecting you from
 the booby traps and the coastal water mine 
They have been around for more than four hundred and eighty million years
And they filled the world’s ocean with awe and wonder
Take a boat ride with me to the utmost end of the sea
And discover the legends of the sea.
The legends of the sea are colonies of time that flood the ocean
With nutrients for the mind and a heart as pure as mine
They are the legends of the sea that you cannot see.,
They are the legends of the sea that gravitate to me
Give me one more chance to take a dive 
and meet with the legends that saves my life
The legend of the sea is hard to see,
 the legend of the sea is waiting for thee.
