the ocean is so idolized
she's what everyone wants to be
she can be patient and thinking
sitting still like a mirror
reflecting the great blue sky
she can be strange and esoteric
lurking like the creatures beneath
hiding dark and obscure wonders
she can be turbulent and rioting
frothing with intense emotion
howling in distress about her pains
the ocean's variety of personalities
can be seen in all the world's people
maybe that's why we like her so much
if we like her so much why do we keep dumping trash in her :(
