Blue gems drop into the ocean,
Glistening through its every motion,
Swirls of blue glide through the sea,
Waves withdraw in a hurried flee,
The wave hurls itself to the shore,
Dropping as it hits the floor,
Raging waters, control emotions,
I stand here in this remotion,
Thick clouds swarm the sky,
Turbulent winds let out a cry,
The ocean howls as storms arise,
But all too soon the crashing dies.
