Hypnotizing. Alluring. Foreboding.

The inky black mass swells, ever the enigma,

The icy depths churn, the eternal mystery,

Currant races, the unpredictable force,

Peace. Calm. Beauty.

Constant ripples expand, ever dependable,

Glistening droplets dance, each different, each accepted,

Sun always reflects, life forever clear.

On solid rock, crime smiles,

Politians push, chores call,

War erupts, bills beg,

Religion rallies, media frightens,

Poverty prevails, tests triumph,

Laws lurk, justice laughs,

Society fractures, people confuse.

Think how simple life would be,

How free and fun if it was just the sea and me.

Think...just think...
