Ocean

"Under the amber sun's warmth seagulls squawk embraced in the freewheeling
briny breeze and hum of the ocean's bosom." Quote by poet

Sun ember warm light dances
a brilliantly choreographed waltz
rhythm upon the sapphire surface
an erratic glitter to a world beneath
a vessel of such mysteries that rises.
Ocean churn by the wind and waves
open in its abyss always in motion
diving into the cool dispassionate within
brackish water and its marine life.
