High School Writer’s Corner

Ocean

Cobalt teal waves, unwavering, unbroken, and resolute
Never falling without rising, more vital than ever before,

never weak nor mute.
Waves crashing onto the beach, thundering and serene

As if struck by something keen.

The ocean's melody calming as a mother's touch
Oh, Mother Ocean! that sings and calls upon me.

Your ethereal beauty that strikes a person's heart is too much.
A place of no human rules, a genuinely free place

Under the blues, greens, salt, and the brutality you hold

You were made of priceless gold
That would cause you to have exquisiteness down to your sharks,

whales, fish, and deep-sea monsters
Down to your vivid and vibrant coral reefs,

down to your 20 feet long and 60-pound flamboyant lobsters

Every creature beautifully dependent on another,

not being able to live without one another
Where all life originates, you are life's mother.

I wonder why these waves whisper to me,
calling me into the soft sand,

The water that sweeps over my feet surrounding me where I stand.
