The Ocean
The ocean is untamed;
crashing down,
it rips the sand from under your feet.
The waves without mercy
smash anything in their path;
only the strong survive.
So cold and dark,
a grave too many ships;
taking life with one swoop.
Sometimes calming,
like a sleeping lion;
mysterious and unforgiving creatures,
lurk beneath the ocean deep.
Twisting, twilling,
and shaping the land like a giant hand.
