The sea:
A bottomless soul of captivation.
Secrets scatter through melting glaciers;
And all sea life disperses at the core.

Until,
A graceful gargantuan is born.
Cursed with soft eyes and big dreams;
Betrothed only in aberration.

The sea:
Overflowing with allurement.
Waves of passion roll with wide fin plunders;
Screeches echo with gaiety.

Until,
Vessels break through thick ice.
Fishermen release nets and debris like savages;
Dagger teeth can’t rip free.

The sea:
Deteriorating at the surface.
Swallows maim intestines to bones;
The escalation of blood overflows.

Until,
Desperation is answered.
Guidance seduces charisma in clean souls;
Remedies cure brokenness.

The sea:
A bottomless soul of captivation.
Where secrets scatter
through melting glaciers;
And all sea life awakens.
once again.
