Ocean
Ocean
The ocean breathes, her surface rises and falls with rhythmic ease
The shore is order and chaos, the land and ocean meeting one another as they please
The ocean as waves of blue-light move over unmeasured horizons
Seashells bloom upon the shore in the sweetest of caramel curls and twirls.
Upon the bluest of waves come a million flashing lights
The waves become the pulse, the echo of the souls
The ocean shore is a living work of art, one that ever changes
The brightest of blue waves to contrast with the soft white-golds and greys
The ocean shore is the poetry of my dreamscape soul, for it built me of its hue
Those colors are so optimistically bright and yet so gentle too
The ocean breeze comes in playful waves, washing me over with a sweet-salty essence
In tousled updraughts, it brings a long awaited relief to my bones
The ocean air has the ability to whisk my soul into a surreal space
Waves in a steady rhythm echo my heart with beautiful grace
The ocean breeze, invites me to raise my eyes toward the denim horizon
Never was there a picture as enchanting as the ever-evolving ocean

ReplyDeleteloved this description of the waves, particularly in the usage of phrases such as “become the pulse” and “echo of the souls.” It truly helps to ingrain a clear picture of the scene, and thereby makes it a pleasure to read through. The closing line is absolutely spectacular. The simplicity of the wording combined with the mention of an “ever-evolving ocean” leaves the reader with an excellent visualization of the emotion present.
