The vast ocean, so calm
A façade of pristine nothingness
Eyes cannot scan the vastness
It engulfs your vision
The salt waters, abode for many
Known and unknown species
Rich with its own heritage
So many tales have been chronicled
Folklore mystifies it with stories
Sea of troubles and possibilities
The bravest have traversed
Facing the fierce predicaments
Relentlessly testing the valiant
So many continents surrounding it
Minuscule landscapes compared to it
Carries so much history
Forever lost in its vast depths
We are yet to reach its depths
And the world that is thriving under
We have lived with it
And yet to decipher
The ocean and its uncharted territory
