Full of Life

Survival,

Survival is key.


Flowing sea creatures full of life,

Tentacles flailing as if dancing.

Fins flapping like the wind blowing a sail,

And scales shimmering like a million diamonds in bright light.

Flowing sea creatures full of life.


Hiding sea creatures full of life,

Milky white foam resting on the top like clouds.

Orange numerous coral hidden below,

Brown rigid rocks resting beneath the sand,

And black, the space where humans do not dare to attempt.

Hiding sea creatures full of life.


Fearful sea creatures full of life,

Colorful white-bellied fish scattering.

Octopus squirting oily ink,

And stingray quickly gliding away.

Fearful sea creatures full of life.


They come on powerful wooden rafts

And cast their fatal nets into the sea like death.


Survival is key.

Thank you, God of the Sea.
