The vastness of the ocean is enough to overwhelm
anyone who were to witness it. The pale blue water
stretched far out of view, the clouds dangling pale
above.

Below the surface the blues blended with the greens
and the greens with the yellows and reds
and for a moment there was bliss
where colors met
and nothing mattered

but life continued on

and the colors began to fade
the sky turned to night
and the ocean was black once more

we weren't afraid
for we knew the day would come again
and the colors would dance
if we'd just wait.
