Home in the Break of the Waves
March 15, 2019
Under the crest of the crashing white,
we feel the covers of a velvet blue,
we feel the colors of an aqua hue.
And we roam, letting the fish swarm,
And humankind enters the waters,
Blissful and oblivious to our slaughters.
Realization dawns upon the ocean family,
seaweed frail, the sea urchins crack,
oil spills leaving the ocean black.
Here was home but no one, not one little buddy, can stay.
Not even in the sea foam, where Aphrodite weeps from dusk to day.

Something about me: I've only recently found an enjoyment in poetry pieces and understanding different structures poems could have. I'm new and testing to include my passions and opinions into my words.
Something about this piece: It's a call for help from the ocean. It's a call for awareness to environment protection. Here is to the youth climate strike!
