The Ocean

The sea is calm tonight
The tide is high, and the moon lies still
The moonlight shines and makes a ray of light
Shining over the ocean like a thousand jewels
Waves gently crash onto the sand bay
Rocky shores slowly eroding
Birds flying over watching their prey
Getting closer and closer ready to swoop
Thousands of colorful fish hurry around in schools
Seaweed twirls in the strong current
Crabs scurry around in small rock pools
Octopus tentacles dance with excitement
The salty sea breeze freshens my mind
The scent of the air is unbelievable
The ocean is something you can always find
The ocean is truly irreplaceable
