The ocean I always had a fear of the ocean you know? Those deep dark tides pulling you in The darkness lurking beneath the horizon But oh how beautiful it is Pulling me closer and closer Until my feet feel the shore going back home then coming back to me for a short moment before leaving again I hated...

My friend is the ocean, waters that glide, Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair; Many the times that we walked side by side, A spark and forever, joined as a pair. Always a cloud there lay over its play, Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face; Heaving, its waters had something to say; Twilight with meteors it took for the...

"And my thoughts are all sensations" And my sensations are all my thoughts. The sun controls the moon, and the moon controls me. She said she was a she/they/we, and we just laughed. Not her we, just us. And my thoughts are all sensations, we'll only ever be as smart as your sun. But the sun controls the moon, and the moon controls we. You've...

I look at the sky as an ocean of freedom, a realm of boundless flight, where birds sketch their destinies on the blue canvas of infinity, and I wonder why I remain where wings are just unlived dreams, but the mirror shows me the answer, a truth hidden deep in my heart, for my wings were never broken, just...

I spoke to the sea, a calm breath though a gale raged inside of me – both my sails shredded, I begged for mercy: “Thou art the greatest world current, what brag would be a wretched notch like me!? Devourer of coasts! Reshaper of vast continents! Bane of man’s mightiest fleets! Countless formidable have foolishly challenged thee, and now lie silent in your crushing...

On a whisper-still afternoon, with a feeling of deep calm. The last thing I thought of was being in any harm. From the seaside village, I had headed out to the ocean, A day for enjoying the sea's cool, relaxing motion. Oppressive tropical heat, unusual for this time of year. The gentle waves lapping gave me nothing to fear....

I’m ruby red for passion Blue sapphire like the sky Turquoise like the ocean These gems I have inside Bluish green in daytime Purplish red at night Alexandrite symphony Reveals my inner light An amethyst so peaceful It brings me inner calm Aquamarine tranquility My soul sings along Bloodstone for courage Citrine golden hues Diamond strength for purity So many gems to choose I was born from stardust Gems of...

If you get too far down in the sea you will miss the beautiful colors that swim by like this. There is a school of flame angel fish, orange and bright. If you get too far down, you will not see them or any light. The mandarin fish are coming by to say hello now. Some are fluorescent red and...

Upon the waves where the wild winds sing, A tale unfolds of a vessel and its wing; Through the tide, it dances, graceful and free, Harnessing the ocean's heart, a sight to see. With cargo holds filled, treasures abound, From the Pacfic to the Atlantic, dreams resound. A bill...
