by Shailey Bellamkonda
An evening by the beach, I heard a Voice
A sight by the Sun
A song by the moon
Free and wild
I have no prison
I am the Ocean
I rise to the clouds
and make the rain
to feed the fields
that grant the grain!
I am the Ocean
Show some sense
and don’t you litter
So many lives
take my shelter
You grow old
and die one day
Forever young,
for thee, let me stay
I am the Ocean
At times I spurt
And you’re hurt
It’s a feature
designed by nature
I don’t enjoy
causing you harm
Be reasonable
and keep me calm
I am the Ocean
Salt in Taste
Sweet at Heart
Give worries a pause
Come lets hug and kiss
I am the Ocean
