Beneath the silver morning light,

The ocean hums a song of life,

Its waves whisper secrets of time,

A rhythm steady, pure, and rife.

 

Rivers trace the mountains’ skin,

Carrying stories to the sea,

Each drop a memory, a life,

A bridge from earth to infinity.

 

I stand on shores both near and far,

Feeling the pulse beneath my feet,

The tides remind me I am small,

Yet part of something vast, complete.

 

Coral gardens sway in secret dance,

Fishes dart like painted sparks,

Every creature, great or slight,

Adds a note to the ocean’s heart.

 

The sea sustains us, shields us, gives,

In its depths, inspiration flows,

It teaches patience, awe, and care,

And how respect for life grows.

 

So I paint, I draw, I create, I write,

To echo the ocean’s quiet call,

To share its beauty, fragile and bright,

And remind us: we are part of it all.
