The Ocean

 The Ocean  With her eyes of changing oceans blue and green,

I gaze into them intently

Mesmerized by what lies within.

Traveling deeper and ever deeper down into The Ocean,

The mysteries that are beneath the surface

And the side that is never seen nor shown above

Intrigues me, pushing me to dive further.

Not far below the waves, the sun shines through

Illuminating the water with a sparkling beauty.

But still the mysteries beneath intrigue me

So I dive further.

Below the sparkling illuminated waters lies

Vast deep calming blue water

Giving a sense of bliss and tranquility.

But the mysteries beneath intrigue me even still.

<p style="text-align:center;">Once again I dive

<p style="text-align:center;">Ever further into the beautiful unknown.

<p style="text-align:center;">Just above the very bottom but below the deep blue vastness lies darkness.

<p style="text-align:center;">In that darkness there are beasts of the sea

<p style="text-align:center;">Massive menacing monsters always lurking, hunting.

<p style="text-align:center;">But yet the mysteries beneath intrigue me even more still.

<p style="text-align:center;">One last and final time I dive.

<p style="text-align:center;">At the very bottom of The Ocean

<p style="text-align:center;">Beneath illuminated waters and calm blue vastness

<p style="text-align:center;">Underneath hideous creatures of pain

<p style="text-align:center;">I find what The Ocean has hidden from the eyes of man all these ages,

<p style="text-align:center;">The secret which layers have stowed away for many moons.

<p style="text-align:center;">I find it sitting there beneath it all.

<p style="text-align:center;">A weeping girl

<p style="text-align:center;">Trapped, covered in scars and tears in her big blue eyes.

<p style="text-align:center;">I find her at long last, hidden from all.

<p style="text-align:center;">I find her.

<p style="text-align:center;">Sensing my presence she looks up.

<p style="text-align:center;">Our eyes lock and in an instant

<p style="text-align:center;">Like windows to the soul

<p style="text-align:center;">I see it all.

<p style="text-align:center;">Something inside her was feeling like I did

<p style="text-align:center;">And without an exchange of words we said all there was ever to say in a single glance.

<p style="text-align:center;">I took her hand in mine and swam

<p style="text-align:center;">Past the beasts that hunt and lurk,

<p style="text-align:center;">Past the deep blue vastness,

<p style="text-align:center;">Past the illuminated waters,

<p style="text-align:center;">And broke through the surface to the waves and skies above.
