Poetry Ocean

I can soothe like a lullaby with a soft melody I can tickle your feet If that is your fancy I am the muse of the poet And the painter's brush I am the love of the sailor And the sunset's blush Creatures great and small Dwell in my depths If you delve into my realm You must hold your breath But the depths of my mystery Are yet to be reached Don't be a hero, stay on the beach I can cool you down On a hot summer day I can reach any coast whether it be night or day But I can rise up in anger just out of the blue I can become the tsunami that destroys you!

Ocean personified in the most imaginative and literal senses. Excellent, Joseph! It's long been in my thoughts that what lies beneath the Earth's waters is far more interesting than the far reaches of any galaxy.
