Once Upon A Blue

Seals glide across the sea
Sharks smelling blood from afar
Sea horse striding and as happy as could be
Dolphins, swimming faster than a sportscar
Nothing beats the blue How true?
~
Whales swallowing all that comes its way
Shrimping crawling on the ocean sand
When the whale jumps out it causes a foamy spray
Nothing this beautiful can be found on land
A little fish hunting a shark
If you journey into the blue it will cause an irreversible spark.
~
All the sound from above is quietly muffled down here
A group of swordfish slice through blue
Impaling the passing fish with their spear
The animals down here are one of a kind who can save them?
Only you.
