The Ocean

The sand settles around the people lying on it.
The sun's rays hit the water making it sparkle like a diamond.
People run to you, splashing your warm water;
Seeing when the next wave will come.

But you have a dark side that comes with you.
Its hidden well, underneath your beauty.
It comes out when its least expect it.
How can you change so quickly?

Your beauty hides the terror you bring to some.
Yet people run to you as if nothing ever happened.
They share their joy with you,
And then you decide to ruin they're smiles.

The moon gives you life at night, as the sun does in the day.
A beautiful sight to the human eye.
The reflection of the night sky brings peace to Earth.
A calmness that is needed after a long day.
